Explanation / Answer

Ans 1.

Antacids are bases or alkalis that act on the stomach acid and neutralise them. They help to relieve the pain that is caused due to ulcers and reduce the symptoms of acis reflux which may cause heart burn in some patients.

When antacids react with stomach acid they release gas, which causes flatulence or the person might feel gassy.
