A certain dose of Tums contains 750.0 mg of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, in each tablet. In this problem, you will follow the steps to calculate how many grams of stomach acid, HCl, are neutralized by one tablet of Tums. Balance the chemical equation for the reaction of HCl with CaCO3. chemical equation: Using the balanced equation, determine how many moles of HCl will react with 1 mol of CaCO3. moles of HC1: Calculate how many moles 750.0 mg CaCO3 is. 750.0 mg CaCO3 = 4 mol mol CaCO3
