Question:

An antacid tablet contains sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, and inert ingredients. A 0.465-g sample of powdered tablet was mixed with 53.3 mL of 0.190 M

HCl (hydrochloric acid). The mixture was allowed to stand until it reacted.

NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

The excess hydrochloric acid was titrated with 54.6 mL of 0.128 M NaOH (sodium hydroxide).

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

What is the percentage of sodium hydrogen carbonate in the antacid?
