4. You have no doubt taken at least one antacid during your lifetime in order to relieve stomach
pain. Check your medicine cabinet at home and make a list of the antacids that you find. Read the
label of each and list all of the ingredients that they contain. Then use your knowledge about bases
and circle those ingredients that are the bases in the antacid. If you do not find any antacids in your
home, stop at the grocery store and read a few of the packages there in order to complete this
problem.
For full credit, find at least three different Reactants!
(examples: Tums, Rolaids, Malox, Milk of Magnesia, Pepto-B, etc...)
