is it true that stomach acid is the most powerful of all acids?

No, the human stomach has a pH of around 2. Stomach acid is a solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl). \n\nHF (hydrofluoric acid) is NOT a strong acid. Sure, it's extremely corrosive, but a true STRONG acid is defined as one that dissociates completely in solution. HF does not dissociate completely.\n\nHCl *does* dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- ions in aqueous solution. In highly concentrated solutions of strong acids like HCl (or nitric acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, bromic acid or iodic acid), you can actually attain NEGATIVE pH. That's extremely acidic.\n\nOh, and if you were wondering why the stomach doesn't corrode itself under healthy conditions... The stomach lining secretes a THICK layer of mucus. That mucus is laced with sodium bicarbonate (a weak base). Sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffer to gently neutralize the acid in the stomach.

This depends on why sulfuric acid is "king".  In industry, sulfuric acid is the most used chemical by weight (other than water).  The opposite, "the serf" or "fool" would be a chemical rarely used.  The choices are too numerous to list.

Going on the assumption you are talking about acid reflux, The acid errodes the esophogus, I have acid reflux and had a little damage done to mine. There might be other problems accociated with stomach acid, I only know what I experienced. (My Dr. put me on prevacid and my esophogus has repaired)

well this question was asked two days before.\nsearch for this question u'll get all the knowledge\nstrongest oxo-acid-- HClO4\nstrongest protonic acid--H2SO4\nstrongest lewis acid----SBF5\n btw HF is not consider very strong bcoz F is very small atom and it does not loose H+ very easily.\n\nEDIT: Question(very odd name) there has been acids with negative pH and 0 pH( 0pH is more stronger than 1)

Most organic acids are not very strong (carboxylic acids).  Some medium strength acids in food include carbonic acid in soda water (pops), Oxalic acid is found in spinach, chocolate and nuts (among other foods) and is another medium strength acid. Phosphoric acid is another medium strength acid used in colas.\n\nWeak acids include: lactic acid in milk/dairy, acetic acid in vinegar, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in fruits, citric acid in citrus fruits,  etc...

it isn't good, i believe it messes with your stomach cause of the acid or something, i've seen this question before.

Al(OH)3 + 3HCl --> AlCl3 + 3H2O\n\nI think that HCl is the main acid in stomach acid.  You could use the same idea for Mg(OH)2; it would form water and magnesium chloride.  Same with any hydroxide salt.  It would make water and then the other two elements would bind to make a salt.

no it coats ur stomach from the acid it makes in there.

Well the food is broken down by stomach acid (HCl). I'm not a biologist, but I believe all food undergoes the same general reaction.

its solitaric acid.....its metabolism....\ncheck out the site listed!

Carbonic Acid is an example of a buffer. It keeps the equilibrium in your blood stream, so that the pH remains around 7.2-7.4. If there are too much acid, it acts as a base to reduce the amounts of acid, and vice versa. \n\nSuppose you injected yourself with sodium hydroxide (why, I don't know), then:\nNaOH + H2CO3 = NaHCO3 + H2O \nBut if you drank HCl instead of H2O:\nHCl + NaHCO3 = NaCl + H2CO3 \n\nObviously, the pH in your mouth is different from that of your stomach, seeing as how stomach acid is HCl. but naturally, without additional acids and bases, they are all roughly the same.

YES, EG. SALIVA FOR EXAMPLE IS MORE BASIC THAN ACIDIC, AS IS ALSO  HUMAN BLOOD. THE Ph OF BLOOD IS 7.62,  NEUTRAL Ph IS 7.0.

Saliva usually has a neutral pH of between 6 and 8.  The small intestines are usually very basic or alkaline (high pH), meaning that the hydrogen ion concentration is very low.  The reason for this is that the contents coming into the small intestine from the stomach is very acidic and various digestive juices, like bile, are pumped into the small intestine to neutralize the acids (which can damage the lining of the small intestine if they aren't neutralized).

Acidic.  Citric acid.

Milk, bleach, Maalox, Tums, chalk...anything that neutralizes an acid.

Acidophilus is a great, natural probiotic.  The way that it actually works is that certain substances which sour, such as active cultured yogurt, buttermilk and certain cheeses, contain Lactobacillus acidophilus that enhance digestion and elimination by effectively digesting proteins in the bowel.  Acidophilus also helps to detoxify harmful bacteria by helping to restore friendly bacteria that keep certain microorganisms in check.  That's the "how" in the best terms that I can use to describe it.  Please visit the website below to read more on the answer to whether the bacteria pass the stomach acids.  The answer is yes they do. The website reads, "Surviving the Stomach -\nAdding to the false-label-claim hazard is the fact that stomach acid destroys many probiotics before they reach the intestines, which is why some probiotic products must be taken in the morning when stomach acid levels are lowest. In response, some companies are developing new pill-coating methods to keep probiotics intact and alive as they pass through stomach acids."  Hope this information answers your questions!  They were good questions! :-)

the best type is gaviscon which has a type of seaweed in it, covering the acidic food in your stomach with a cool soothing liquid, neutralising the acid and preventing acid reflux. As the food was eaten several days ago an H2 inhibitor might be more effective which increases alkalinity of your intestine.(generic name ranitadine) It won't help straight away tho.stick to easily digestible foods, don'e eat too much fat or protein and try to eat some fruit and drink pleanty of veg to help get rid of the waste food inside.
