Answer:
An acidic stomach due to eating too much spicy food, can be relieved by taking an antacid. The antacid is alkaline/ basic in nature and helps to neutralize the stomach's acidity or you may take magnesium hydroxide (Milk of magnesia) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda).
The reaction between an acid and a base is termed as neutralization reaction. This is because when an acid reacts with a base, they cancel out or nullify each other.
