Answer:

The salt CaCl2 (calcium chloride) and water (H2O) are formed in this reaction. Also formed is the gas carbon dioxide (CO2) which may cause a bloated feeling in the stomach. The acid that is secreted in your stomach is approximately 0.1 M (moles per liter) hydrochloric acid.

I hope it helps ~
