उत्तर
- Dilute hydrochloric acid is the acid produced in our stomach.
- Sometimes, excess acid is produced in the stomach for various reasons, such as overeating. When this happens, the excess generation of acid in the stomach causes indigestion with pain and discomfort.
- This can be treated with antacids, which are weak bases. They neutralise the excess acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from indigestion and relieving the pain.
