Caltrain tablets contains calcium carbonate. If one tablet requires 34.46 mL of 0.291 M solution of hydrochloric acid for neutralization, how many milligrams of calcium carbonate is in this caltrate tablet?

There are 500 mg of calcium carbonate is in this caltrate tablet

The equation of the reaction is;

2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(aq) ------> CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Next, we have to obtain the amount HCl reacted as follows;

Number of moles = concentration × volume

Volume = 34.46 mL or 0.03446 L

Concentration =  0.291 M

Number of moles = 0.291 M ×  0.03446 L

Number of moles = 0.01 moles

Since the reaction of HCl and CaCO3 are in the ratio of 2:1

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of CaCO3

0.01 moles of HCl reacts with  0.01 moles ×  1 mole/2 moles

= 0.005 moles of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = number of moles  × molar mass

Mass of CaCO3 =  0.005 moles of CaCO3 × 100 g/mol

Mass of CaCO3 =  0.5 g or 500 mg
