You've been experiencing acid indigestion lately, and you'd like a quick fix for the problem. You do a little research on the Internet and discover that your problem is caused by excess stomach acid. In the pharmacy aisles, however, you're having a little trouble deciding what to purchase to address the problem. At the pharmacy counter, the clerk recommends that you purchase PEPCID AC or Alka-Seltzer tablets.
If you were able to chemically analyze your stomach fluids 30 minutes after taking two tablets, you would find. a. more hydrogen ions.
b. fewer hydrogen ions.
c. the same number of hydrogen ions.
d. that the pH in your stomach has decreased. - correct answer ✔✔Fewer hydrogen ions

Which of the following best describes the atomic number of an atom? - correct answer ✔✔The number of protons in the atom Clot formation in our blood can lead to a heart attack or stroke. What was altered in the proteins that made the clot? - correct answer ✔✔The proteins were no longer soluble in the blood
