Self Evaluation: During this activity I learned a lot & The reaction of the antacids & the vinegar was fun to watch. The lower the Ph Number the more acid something has. Therefore, the higher the numbers get, the more the solution is a base. An antacid is a base so it balances out the Ph level making you feel more comfortable when you have a lot of acid in your stomach. I learned that different antacids effect some PH levels different while others don't. I wasn't aware that vinegar has a similar PH level as stomach acids or that the antacids work as fast as they do. Just because some antacids are labeled "maximum strength" or "extra strength" doesn't really mean they work any different then the other. In the end, I did learned not to use liquid antacids before Tums because it won't work! (:
