Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl ==> MgCl2 + 2H2O
millimols HCl added = mL x M = 100 x 0.2893M = 28.93 total acid added.
mmols HCl not used = 25.20 mL x 0.1007 = 2.538 for a 10 mL portion of the above acid; therefore, if 100 mL had been titrated you would have used 25.38 mmols NaOH which corresponds to 25.38 mmols acid not used. So how much acid was used.
begin = 28.93
-not used = 25.38
----------------
used = 3.55 mmols.
3.55 mmols acid used = 1/2 that for mmols Mg(OH)2 in the sample. Convert that to grams if you want to know grams Mg(OH)2 in one tablet.
An antacid tablet containing magnesium hydroxide instead of calcium carbonate was dissolved in 100.0 mL of 0.2893 M HCL. 10 mL of this solutions was titrated to endpoint with 25.20 mL of 0.1007 M NaOH. How much magnesium hydroxide was in the antacid tablet(in mg)?
Any help is appreciated
