Some antacid tablets contain aluminum hydroxide. the aluminum hydroxide reacts with stomach acid according to the equation: ai(oh)3 +3hciaici, +3h2o. determine the moles of acid neutralized if a tablet contains 0.200 mol of al(oh)3

The moles of acid that neutralizes a tablet is 0.6 moles.

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction between aluminium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium hydroxide reacts with 3 moles of hydrochloric acid.

So, 0.2 moles of aluminium hydroxide will react with = of hydrochloric acid.

Hence, the number of moles of acid that neutralizes a tablet is 0.6 moles.
