Moles of NaOH = 0.05molL Maalox - 0.05mol/L x 24.1mL = 1.205mmol/1000 = .001205 mol Tums - 0.05mol/L x 22.4mL = 1.120mmol/1000 = .00112 mol Mylanta - 0.05mol/L x 20.0mL = 1.00mmol/1000 = .001 mol CVS - 0.05mol/L x 19.9mL = 0.995mmol/1000 = .000995 mol Rennies - 0.05mol/L x 24.4mL = 1.220mmol/1000 = .00122 mol The strongest is CVS brand because less HCI was left over (0.00995) which means it used the least amount of NaOH to neutralize the acid. The weakest is Rennies because more HCI was left over (0.00122) which means it used the most NaOH to neutralize the acid. 2. Which are the strongest and weakest, on a by-weight (mass) basis? To find out how much acid was neutralized by single doses of each antacid we have to subtract the answers from question one from the moles of HCl (.004mol). Maalox: .004 -.001205= .002795 mol Tums: .004 - .00112 = .002880 mol Mylanta: .004 - .001 = .003 mol CVS brand: .004 - .000995 = .003005 mol Rennies: .004 - .00122 = .002780 mol Divide the number of moles of acid neutralized in each case by that antacid's mass. This gives you the moles of acid neutralized per gram of antacid, which will allow you to judge the strongest and weakest antacids on a per weight basis. Maalox: 24.1ml/20.0g = 1.21ml/g .002795 mol base / 20.0g = .00013975 mol base/pill Tums: 22.4ml/21.0g = 1.07ml/g .002880 mol base / 21.0g = .0001371 mol base/pill Mylanta: 20.0ml/18.0g = 1.11ml/g .003 mol base / 18.0g = .0001666 mol base/pill CVS brand: 19.9ml/18.3g = 1.09ml/g (.003005 mol base)/ (18.3g pill) = .0001642 mol base/pill Rennies: 24.4ml/ 17.5g = 1.39ml/g (.002780 mol base)/ (17.5g pill) = .0001588 mol base/pill
