Quantitative Information from Balanced Equations (Section)

Several brands of antacids use Al(OH)3 to react with stomach acid, which contains primarily HCl:

Al(OH)3(s) + HCl(aq)→AlCl3(aq) + H2O(l)

(a) Balance this equation.


(b) Calculate the number of grams of HCl that can react with 0.500 g of Al(OH)3.


(c) Calculate the number of grams of AlCl3 and the number of grams of H2O formed when 0.500 g of Al(OH)3 reacts.

(d) Show that your calculations in parts (b) and (c) are consistent with the law of conservation of mass.
