Specialized cells in the stomach release HCl in order to aid in digestion. If these cells release too much HCl, the excess acid can be neutralized with antacids such as TUMS which contain calcium carbonate in order to avoid discomfort. In order to test commercial antacids, a chemist uses 0.160 M HCl to stimulate the acid concentration in the stomach. First, provide a correctly balanced reaction equation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate (note that this reaction produces H2O(l) and CO2(g)). Then show how to determine and calculate the amount of stimulated stomach acid (in mL) that would react completely with one extra strength TUMS tablet which contains 7.50x10^2 mg of calcium carbonate. you must use the factor-label(conversion-factor) method for all conversions. Use significant figures and include units where applicable.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
