Each Rolaids tablet contains .550 g of calcium carbonate and .110 g of magnesium hydroxide. Kroger Extra Strength antacid tablets contain .750 g of calcium cabonate per tablet. What is the neutralizing ability per gram for each tablet in mol/g?
Might not be able to answer with this information, but I hope! Please help
You need to clarify your question. The neutralizaing ability PER GRAM (of what?) for each table in MOL/G (of what?).
To calculate the neutralizing ability per gram for each tablet in mol/g, we need to determine the molar mass of the compounds involved and the number of moles present in each tablet.
Let's calculate the neutralizing ability per gram of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide for each tablet.
1. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3):
The molar mass of CaCO3 is calculated as follows:
(1 atom of Ca * atomic mass of Ca) + (1 atom of C * atomic mass of C) + (3 atoms of O * atomic mass of O)
- Mass of calcium carbonate per tablet: 0.550 g
- Number of moles of CaCO3 per tablet = Mass / Molar mass
2. Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2):
The molar mass of Mg(OH)2 is calculated as follows:
(1 atom of Mg * atomic mass of Mg) + (2 atoms of O * atomic mass of O) + (2 atoms of H * atomic mass of H)
- Mass of magnesium hydroxide per tablet: 0.110 g
- Number of moles of Mg(OH)2 per tablet = Mass / Molar mass
Now, to calculate the neutralizing ability per gram for each tablet:
- For calcium carbonate: Number of moles of CaCO3 per tablet / Mass of calcium carbonate per tablet = ? mol/g
- For magnesium hydroxide: Number of moles of Mg(OH)2 per tablet / Mass of magnesium hydroxide per tablet = ? mol/g
However, we need additional information to proceed with the calculation. Specifically, we need the molar masses of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide.
Please provide the atomic masses of the elements, and we can continue with the calculation.
