An antacid tablet contains 640.0 mg of magnesium oxide per tablet. What volume of 0.1000 M stomach acid (HCI) could one tablet neutralize?

317.6 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization equation

MgO + 2 HCl ⇒ MgCl₂ + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 640.0 mg of MgO

The molar mass of MgO is 40.30 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 640.0 mg (0.6400 g) of MgO are:

0.6400 g × (1 mol/40.30 g) = 0.01588 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of HCl that react with 0.01588 moles of MgO

The molar ratio of MgO to HCl is 1:2. The moles of HCl are 2/1 × 0.01588 mol = 0.03176 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume of 0.1000 M HCl that contains 0.03176 moles

0.03176 mol × (1 L/0.1000 mol) = 0.3176 L = 317.6 mL

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
