Question

The news that calcium deficiencies in women’s diets may contribute to the development of osteoporosis (bone weakening), has made the use of dietary calcium supplements become increasingly popular. Many of these calcium supplements consist of nothing more than calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When a calcium carbonate tablet is ingested, it dissolves by reaction with stomach acid, which contains hydrochloric acid, HCl. The balanced equation is:

CaCO3 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) --> CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

Based on the reaction above, how many grams of HCl are required to react with a 500 mg CaCO3 tablet?
