Calculate the maximum volume (in mL) of 0.143 M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutralize. Assume complete neutralization.

a. A tablet containting 350 mg Al(OH)3 and 250 mg Mg(OH)2.
b. A tablet containing 970 mg of CaCO3.

a. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.

Explanation:

a.

Mass of aluminum hydroxide = 350 mg =  0.350 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of aluminum hydroxide =

According to reaction ,3 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of aluminum hydroxide.Then 0.004487 mole of aluminum hydroxide will be neutralize by :

of HCl.

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 250 mg =  0.250 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of magnesium hydroxide =

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide.Then 0.004310  mole of magnesium hydroxide will be neutralize by :

of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize both :

0.01346 mol + 0.008621 mol = 0.02208 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1544 L = 154.4 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b.

Mass of calcium carbonate = 970mg =  0.970 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of calcium carbonate =

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of calcium carbonate.Then 0.00970 mole of calcium carbonate will be neutralize by :

of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize calcium carbonate : 0.0194 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1357 L = 135.7 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.

i'm assuming that it's c.) red bank..

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you
