Stomach acid is 0.02M HCl. A 330mg antacid tablet is 41% magnesium hydroxide and 36.2% sodium Bicarbonate. What is the volume of acid that can be neutralized by one tablet?

Answer 1

moles of Mg(OH)2: .41*330/molmassMg(OH)2

moles of Na2(CO3): .59*330/molmassNa2CO3

moles of monotonic acid neutralized: twice the sum of above

volumeacid: molesacidabove/.02
