Question
I need help with the calculations for parts C.1, C.2, and C.3. Thank you.
Explanation / Answer
Moles of acid and base can be calculated by using their respective concentration and volume used.
FOR MOLES OF ACID
Volume of acid used = 25 mL
Concentration of acid = 0.130 M
Now, 0.130 M (0.130 mol/L) solution means
1000 mL solution has HCl = 0.130 mole
25 mL solution has HCl = 0.130 × 25/1000 mol = 0.00325 mol
So, moles of HCl = 0.00325
Similarly, FOR BASE NaOH
Volume used = 15.23
Concentration = 0.100 M(0.100 mol/L)
Again, 1000 mL solution has NaOH = 0.100 mol
15.23 mL has NaOH = 0.100 × 15.23/1000 =0.001523 mol
So, moles of NaOH = 0.001523 moles
FOR BASE IN ANTACID
As we know when acid and base are mixed, then reaction undergo neutralisation, and number of moles of acid is equal to number of moles of base.
Since antacids are basic in nature because these are used to neutralise the extra acid produced in our body.
Now, the moles of acid and bases calculated above are not equal because base moles from ANTACID will also contribute to neutralise the acid HCl. SO,
Moles of acid = moles of NaOH + moles of base from antacid
0.00325 = 0.001523 + moles of base in antacid
Moles = (0.00325 - 0.001523) mol = 0.001727 mol
So, moles of base in antacid = 0.001727
