Write a procedure How would you analyze a tums or Rolaids tablet?
Keyword: Back titration, molarity calculation, antiacid active ingredients
This procedure outlines the steps for analyzing a Tums or Rolaids tablet to determine the molarity of its antiacid active ingredient. The procedure involves a back titration method, where an excess of a known concentration of acid is added to the tablet, the excess acid is titrated with a known concentration of base, and the amount of acid that reacted with the tablet is calculated. The calculated amount of acid is then used to determine the number of moles of the antiacid active ingredient in the tablet and its molarity. By following this procedure, the molarity of the antiacid active ingredient in a Tums or Rolaids tablet can be determined accurately and precisely.
