Problem 138

Antacids are chemical compounds that can give immediate relief from indigestion or heartburn because they contain carbonate or hydroxide ions that neutralize stomach acids. Some common active ingredients include \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}, \mathrm{KHCO}_{3}\), \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}, \mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2},\) and \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3} .\) Although these compounds give quick relief, they are not recommended for prolonged consumption.
