how does the consumption of antacid affect urine pH?

The antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity.. Thus, increase the pH of the urine.

can you explain exactly how does the reaction occur? ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Urine pH is an acid-base measurement. Normal urine has a slightly acid pH (5.0 - 6.0). A lower pH (more acidic) is usually the result of eating acidic foods. Higher pH (more basic) urine may indicate the consumption of antacids or pH-basic foods. High pH urine indicates more susceptibility to infection.
