Answer:
100 mL
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
First we <u>convert 500 mg of CaCO₃ into mmoles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 500 mg ÷ 100 mg/mmol = 5 mmol CaCO₃
Then we <u>convert 5 mmoles of CaCO₃ into HCl mmoles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:
- 5 mmol CaCO₃ *
= 10 mmol HCl
Finally we <u>calculate the volume of a 0.10 M HCl solution (such as stomach acid) that would contain 10 mmoles</u>:
- 10 mmol / 0.10 M = 100 mL
