Antacid pills neutralize the hydrochloric acid in your stomach to limit acid reflux. Antacid pills are composed of calcium carbonate, and react with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide gas. Write a balanced equation for this reaction. b. What mass of hydrochloric acid can theoretically be neutralized by 1.50 grams of antacid pills (assume the pills are 100% calcium carbonate): c. If the percent yield of this reaction is 84%, what mass of carbon dioxide was produced by the 1.50 grams of antacid pills?

4.21 Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, will decompose explosively to form N2, O2, and H2O, a fact that has been exploited in terrorist bombings. What mass of nitrogen is formed by the decomposition of 2.6 kg of ammonium nitrate?
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.

ABS plastic is a tough, hard plastic used in applications requiring shock resistance. The polymer consists of three monomer units: acrylonitrile (C3H3N), butadiene (C4H6), and styrene (C8H8). a. A sample of ABS plastic contains 8.80% N by mass. It took 0.605 g of Br2 to react completely with a 1.20-g sample of ABS plastic. Bromine reacts 1: 1 (by moles) with the butadiene molecules in the polymer and nothing else. What is the percent by mass of acrylonitrile and butadiene in this polymer? b. What are the relative numbers of each of the monomer units in this polymer?
