Acid in your stomach lab!

    Usually when you've eaten something that has your stomach turned upset down, you always want something to cure this. Most result to the oh so popular Tums. The hypothesis my group had was that both generic version and Tums would both work in the same way, and perform evenly. With the help of vinegar, the original and generic Tums, beakers, pH papers, a grinder, and coffee stirers we were able to reenact how it would be like in someones stomach.

What we did was pour vinegar into a beaker, with that we then used the pH paper to determine what level it was at(2). During that time we were also crushing up the generic tums so we could then put them in the beaker filled with vinegar. Two tablets was considered the lowest recommend dosage you should take. So with that being said we had four tablets. Two being the generic anti acid brand, and two being the original Tums. After putting the generic kind in the beaker, our result was that it fizzed, and bubbled up. It also had the pH level of 7. We did it again with the original brand and the result reoccurred from the previous experiment.
