Question

An old antacid commercial claimed that each tablet of their product could neutralize 47 times its mass in stomach acid. The active ingredient in the antacid tablet, NaAl(OH)2CO3, reacts with HCl in stomach acid according the balanced equation:

NaAl(OH)2CO3 + 4HCl --> NaCl + AlCl3 + 3H2O + CO2

how many moles of HCl can a 1.60 g antacid tablet neutralize if the tablet contains .382 g of the active ingredient ?

number of moles HCl = 

If stomach acid has a concentration of .14M HCl, determine how many times the tablet's own mass of stomach acid can be neutralized by the 1.60 g antacid tablet. Assume the stomach acid has the density of water 1 g/mL

number of times =
