Acids bases and PH level

I really enjoyed the antacid lab. It was fun to find out how antacids work and watch them work. Antacids work by turning the acid in your stomach into a base or more basic then it was. Anti-acids work by taking the hydrogen atoms from the stomach acid and makes a molecule using the hydrogen. On the PH scale acids are lower and bases are higher. the PH scale goes up to 14 which is the most basic which would be cleaner and down to 1 which would be like battery acid. 7 is neutral for example water. Something is an acid when it has more negative parts than positive.  Something is a base when the positive parts outnumber the negative parts. This what I have learned from the antacid lab. See My post tums and such for the lab results.
