Question
Your body breaks down food by making stomach acid, which is composed mostly of hydrochloric acid (
HCl
). If your body makes too much stomach acid, you may suffer from an upset stomach. Antacids like sodium bicarbonate (
NaHCO3
) can relieve an upset stomach by combining with hydrochloric acid. This combination forms sodium chloride (
NaCl
), water (
H2O
), and carbon dioxide (
CO2
), reducing the amount of acid in the stomach.
In the chemical reaction described in the passage, which of the following are products? Select all that apply.
