An antacid tablet with an active ingredient of CaCO3 was dissolved in 50.0 mL of 0.300 M HCl. When this solution was titrated with 0.300 M sodium hydroxide, 32.47 mL was required to reach the end point. Determine the mass (in grams) of calcium carbonate in the tablet. Molar Mass of CaCO3

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

mole of HCl remaining after reaction with CaCO₃

= .3 M of NaOH of 32.47 mL

= .3 x .03247 moles

= .009741 moles

Initial HCl taken = .3 x .005 moles = .0015 moles

Moles of HCl reacted with CaCO₃

= .009741 - .0015 = .008241 moles

CaCO₃     +    2HCl   =   CaCl₂  +  CO₂  +  H₂O .

1 mole        2 moles

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of  CaCO₃

.008241 moles of HCl reacts with .5 x .008241 moles of  CaCO₃

CaCO₃ reacted with HCl =  .5 x .008241 = .00412 moles

the mass (in grams) of calcium carbonate in the tablet

= .00412 x 100 = .412 grams . ( molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100 )

We have that  the mass (in grams) of calcium carbonate in the tablet  is mathematically given as

mass of  CaCO₃= 0.412 grams

The mass (in grams) of calcium carbonate in the tablet

Question Parameters:

  • An antacid tablet with an active ingredient of CaCO3 was dissolved in 50.0 mL of 0.300 M HCl.
  • titrated with 0.300 M sodium hydroxide, 32.47 mL was required to reach the end point.

Generally the equation for the mole of HCl  is mathematically given as

mole of HCl = 0.3 M of NaOH of 32.47 mL

mole of HCl= 0.3 x 0.03247 moles

mole of HCl= 0.009741 moles

Therefore

Initial HCl taken = 0.3 x 0.005 moles

Initial HCl taken= 0.0015 moles

Moles of HCl reacted with CaCO₃

M_{hcl}= 0.009741 - .0015

M_{hcl}= .008241 moles

The Chemical Equation

CaCO₃     +    2HCl   =   CaCl₂  +  CO₂  +  H₂O .

Therefore, CaCO₃ reacted with HCl is

CaCO₃ reacted with HCl=  0.5 x 0.008241

 CaCO₃ reacted with HCl= .00412 moles

Hence,the mass of   CaCO₃ is

mass of   CaCO₃ = 0.00412 x 100

mass of   CaCO₃= 0.412 grams
