In an experiment on evaluation of antacid containing magnesium carbonate, a tablet weighing 2.50 g was completely dissolved using 5.00 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid. The excess of acid was then back titrated with 1.00 M NaOH solution, with a pH indicator. The equivalence point was achieved when 2.30 mL of alkali was added. What was the content of magnesium carbonate in moles per gram? (A) 0.00031 (B) 0.0042 (C) 0.0084 (D) 0.0011 (E) None of the above. If so, what is your answer?
