Ammonium Nitrate | Formula, Reactions & Uses

Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is commonly used as the active ingredient in antacid tablets. A student analyzed an antacid tablet for mass percent Mg(OH)2 by dissolving a tablet weighing 1.462  g in 25.00  mL of 0.953 M HCl, and neutralizing the unreacted HCl. That neutralization required 12.29  mL of 0.602 M NaOH. Calculate the mass percent of Mg(OH)2 in the antacid tablet. | Numerade
