9. A nutrition company has produced a tablet that can be dissolved in water and consumed during exercise to replace the electrolytes lost from sweating. Each tablet weighs 5.400 grams and contains the following amounts of each electrolyte: Electrolyte Amount per tablet (mg) Sodium (as sodium carbonate) 300 Potassium (as potassium bicarbonate) 150 Calcium (as calcium carbonate) 40 Magnesium (as magnesium oxide) 25 Calculate the wt% of each metal in the tablet. *challenge option: calculate the wt% of each metal if the tablet is compounded by adding 5.400 grams of starch binder to the salts. this version is much more complex!

Question
9. A nutrition company has produced a tablet that can be dissolved in water and consumed during
exercise to replace the electrolytes lost from sweating. Each tablet weighs 5.400 grams and
contains the following amounts of each electrolyte:
Electrolyte
Amount per tablet (mg)
Sodium (as sodium carbonate)
300
Potassium (as potassium bicarbonate)
150
Calcium (as calcium carbonate)
40
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide)
25
Calculate the wt% of each metal in the tablet.
*challenge option: calculate the wt% of each metal if the tablet is compounded by adding 5.400
grams of starch binder to the salts. this version is much more complex!
