Which of the following compounds help in controlling the acid production in the stomach? Correct Answer Histamine

Histamine is the compound which is responsible for the secretion of pepsin and HCl in the stomach. Drugs like cimetidine (Tegamet), ranitidine (Zantac), omeprazole and lansoprazole prevent the interaction of histamine with the stomach wall receptors, resulting in release of lesser acid.

In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.

Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :

Statements : In Japan, the incidence of stomach cancer is very high, while that of bowel cancer is very low. But Japanese immigrate to Hawaii, this is reversed - the rate of bowel cancer increases but the rate of stomach cancer is reduced in the next generation. All this is related to nutrition - the diets of Japanese in Hawaii are different than those in Japan.

Conclusions :
I. The same diet as in Hawaii should be propagated in Japan also.
II. Bowel cancer is less severe than stomach cancer.
Consider the following two statements: a. Our stomach produces hydrochloric acid. It helps in digestion of food. During indigestion, the stomach produces too much acid causing pain and irritation. b. Magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) is often used in the above condition which is an analgesic. Which is a completely correct statement?
Consider the following statements regarding antacids. 1. Excessive hydrogen carbonate can make the stomach alkaline and trigger the production of even more acid. 2. Cimetidine (Tagamet), was designed to prevent the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in the stomach wall. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A laboratory teacher had 1.5 litres of concentrated sulfuric acid. She replaces concentrated sulfuric acid with water after every class till the carton is empty. One student needs 10 ml of sulfuric acid mixture in every class. First class had 20 students and since then all other classes observed 10 students. Calculate total quantity of water with which mixture of sulfuric acid and water is replaced till carton is empty. Note 1.5 litres of concentrated sulfuric acid had 90% sulfuric acid and rest water
