A dilute of magnesium hydroxide is often used to neutralize stomach acid. Stomach acid is a mixture of acids; however stomach acid reacts with the magnesium hydroxide to produce water. To determine the magnesium hyroxide content of antacid tablets, a analytical chemist reacted 1.0 molar hydrocloric acid with antacid tablets. The resulting reaction was magnesium hyroxide plus hydrocloric acid = magnesium cloride plus water. If the scientist reacted 10.5ml of the 1M hydrocloric acid solution with the antacid tablet, determine the number of moles of hydrocloric acid reacted and the number of grams of magnesium hydroxide present in the antacid. (Hint: Molarity equals moles/L). Classify the type of chemical reaction taking place here and show all work.

The following questions involve the reaction of sodium hydroxide and succinic acid. Succinic acid is diprotic: the acid (H2C4H4O4) reacts with two of its hydrogens to give C4H4O42-. The balanced "molecular" equation for the reaction has coefficients of 2 for NaOH and 1 for succinic acid: 2 NaOH (aq) + H2C4O4 (aq) --> Na2C4H4O4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l) A student weights 1.700 g of succinic acid and dissolves it in water in a 250.0 mL volumetric flask. A 25.00...

Analogy to the Vinegar Analysis We analyze a vitamin C tablet for ascorbic acid, a weak acid with a molar mass of 176.13 g/mole. Once crushed and dissolved in water, it titrates to a nice phenolphthalein/peach-colored endpoint in a 1:1 reaction with sodium hydroxide. A single tablet of 0.607 g is titrated to endpoint against 0.1120 M sodium hydroxide solution. The initial volume of sodium hydroxide titrant is 0.34 mL, and at endpoint the volume is 26.38 mL. Use this...
