Answer #1

Mass of calcium carbonate in one tablet = 38.5% 2.60g

Mass of calcium carbonate in one tablet =( 2.60×38.5)÷100

Mass of calcium carbonate in one tablet = 1.001g

total mass of calcium carbonate = 1750mg = 1.750g

(Because 1000mg = 1g)

Number of tablet

=(total mass of calcium carbonate)/(mass of calcium carbonate in one tablet)

Number of tablet =( 1.750g/1.001g)

Number of tablet = 1.748

or

Number of tablet = 1.75 (approx)

Or

Number of tablet = one and three fourth

    8. When a calcium carbonate tablet is ingested, it dissolves by the reaction of stomach acid, which contains hydrochloric acid. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is CaCO,(s) + HCl(aq) -----> CaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO.(g). Normal stomach acid contains 5.50% hydrochloric acid. If a particular individual required 13 calcium carbonate tablets to completely neutralize their stomach acid, how many grams of stomach acid reacted? Each calcium carbonate tablet contains 500. mg of the active ingredient.
