These tablets are bases that neutralize stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn.

Antacid tablets (Tums or Rolaids)
200

This gas, a major contributor to climate change, is produced when gasoline is burned in vehicles.

Carbon dioxide.

200

A method to protect boats from corrosion is by using these pieces of metal that corrode instead of the boat.

Sacirficial anodes.

200

This term refers to gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in Earth’s temperature.
