One brand of extra-strength antacid tablets contains 750 mg of calcium carbonate (100 g/mol) in each tablet. Stomach acid is ess

entially a hydrochloric acid solution. Is so much calcium carbonate really needed to neutralize stomach acid? Calculate the volume of stomach acid with a pH of 1.0 that one of these tablets could neutralize, and compare that value with the normal volume of stomach fluid, which usually is about 100 mL. One tablet can neutralize _____ mL of stomach acid at a pH of 1.0.
a. 75
b. 150
c. 250

Answer:

One tablet can neutralize 150 mL of stomach acid at a pH of 1.0

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of calcium carbonate = 750 mg = 0.75 grams

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100 g/mol

pH = 1.0

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HCl  +  CaCO3 →  CaCl2  +  H2CO3

Step 3: Calculate molarity of HCl

pH = -log[H+] = 1

[H+] = 0.1 M = 0.10 mol/L

Step 4: Calculate moles of CaCO3

Moles CaCO3 = 0.75 grams / 100g/mol

Moles CaCO3 = 0.0075 mol

Step 5: Calculate moles of HCl

For 2 moles HCl we need 1 mol CaCO3 to produce CaCl2 and 1 mole of H2CO3

For 0.0075 moles of CaCO3 we have 2*0.0075 = 0.015 moles HCl

Step 6: Calculate volume of HCl

Volume = moles /molarity

Volume = 0.015 moles / 0.1 M

Volume = 0.15 L = 150 mL

One tablet can neutralize 150 mL of stomach acid at a pH of 1.0.

How do cells use lipids and carbohydrates?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Animals tend to use carbohydrates primarily for short-term energy storage, while lipids are used more for long-term energy storage. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in animals while lipids are stored as fats (in plants carbohydrates are stored as cellulose and lipids as oils)

What is the Bond Type and Molecular polarity of PCl3?
DedPeter [7]
It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.
