The antacid found in Tums™ has the active ingredient calcium carbonate, which undergoes a reaction when mixed with hydrochloric acid to produce water, calcium chloride and carbon dioxide. A tablet of this antacid had a mass of 1.774g and was dissolved completely in an excess of 30.0mL of 0.794M HCl. The resulting solution was then titrated with 0.995M NaOH. The initial buret reading was 11.05mL and the final buret reading was 28.52mL. The listed mass of active ingredient on the bottle is 325mg.
