Pepsin is a protease enzymes releases into the stomach. There is more breakdown by the stomach muscles. ("Enzymes & Digestion." Enzymes & Digestion. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Dec. 2012) Stomach acid is made up of hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, proteins, digestive enzymes, and amino acids and"Gastric Acid gastric. Acid is neutralized by sodium bicarbonate.(" Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 12 July 2012. Web. 07 Dec. 2012.) It also breaks down the particles so that it can either be .removed or emitted

some of the acid within the stomach needs to be neutralized. To do this, an antacid is in use. These antacids contain chemicals used to neutralize some of the acid in the stomach. In order to do so, a base chemical, generally aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide are used, as they're weak enough to not neutralize all of the acid, but sturdy enough to still neutralize sufficient of it. antacid is taken. These antacids contain chemicals used to neutralize some of the acid in the stomach. HCl + NaHCO3 → NaCl + H2CO3

Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) is at room temperature, it is a non-color gas, and it forms white fumes of hydrochloric acid mixes with atmospheric moisture. Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystal like but often appears as a powder. Sodium chloride (NaCl), it is salt, table salt or halite, is an ionic compound. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is carbonic acid and has hydrogen and carbonate in it. (http://www.poweringnow.ca/what-is-hydrogen/).

Stomach acid is important because it kills harmful bacteria and ingested with food.stomach acid signals the pancreas produce digestive juices and enzymes to break down food. Stomach acid activates the enzymes pepsin needed for protien digestion.Stomach acid performs an important digestive function by decreasing food clumps size.
