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),CO,, reacts with the HCl in stomach acid according to the balanced reaction here NoAl(OH),CO, + 4 HC NaCl + AICI, + 3H2O + CO, How many moles of HCI can a 1.63 g antacid tablet neutralize if the tablet contains 0.390 g of the active ingredient? number of moles of HCI = mol If stomach acid has a concentration of 0.14 M HCI, determine how many times the tablet's own mass of stomach acid can be neutralized by the 1.63 g antacid tablet. Assume that stomach acid has the density of water, 1.00 g/mL. number of times =
