  • Oxygen is required in combustion as well as a fuel.
  • Incomplete combustion is typically obtained from low oxygen.
  • MTBE is used to increase octane levels in gasoline.
  • MTBE favors oxidation of gasoline.

    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.
