An antacid tablet weighing 1.30g was fully neutralized at 42.00 mL(an excess amount) of 0.250MHCl. 10.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH was then used to back titrate the excess HCl. How many moles of acid did the antacid neutralize

0.0095 moles of acid were neutralized by the antiacid

Explanation:

The antiacid is a base that neutralize the acid in stomach. To find the moles of acid neutralized we need to find the moles of acid added initially. This acid is added in excess, then, the moles of NaOH added reacts to neutralize the moles of acid in excess. The difference between initial moles of HCl and moles of NaOH needed to titrate the excess = Moles of HCl that were neturalized by the antiacid as follows:

Moles HCl added:

42.00mL = 0.04200L * (0.250mol/L) = 0.0105 moles HCl

Moles NaOH to titrate the excess:

10.00mL = 0.01000L * (0.10mol/L) = 0.0010 moles NaOH = Moles HCl in excess.

Moles of acid that were neutralized:

0.0105 moles - 0.0010 moles =

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
