Stomach acid is approximately 0.10 M HCl. How many mL of stomach acid can be neutralized by one regular antacid tablet that contains 500 mg of solid CaCO3 (100.09 g/mol)?

100 mL

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

First we convert 500 mg of CaCO₃ into mmoles, using its molar mass:

Then we convert 5 mmoles of CaCO₃ into HCl mmoles, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction:

Finally we calculate the volume of a 0.10 M HCl solution (such as stomach acid) that would contain 10 mmoles:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
