Question
Question 3. In the stomach, parietal cells release hydrochloric acid (HCI) to aid in digestion.
When too much acid is released, that acid can be neutralized by ingesting an antacid.
Aluminum hydroxide is a common ingredient in antacids, such as Maalox and Mylanta.
As a chemist testing the strength of antacids, you use 160 mM HCI to mimic the acid
concentration of the stomach.
3.1
Write the balanced molecular reaction for the neutralization reaction taking place
between aqueous HCI and aqueous aluminum hydroxide? (include states of matter)
3.2
A Mylanta tablet contains 200 mg of aluminum hydroxide (molar mass: 78.00
g/mol). What volume (in L) is needed of this "stomach acid" (that is 160 mM HCI) to fully
neutralize one antacid tablet? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
L of 160 mM HCI
