How Does Quick-Eze Neutralized By Sodium Hydroxide
iscussion
The results and calculations shows that 1 tablet of Quick-eze is most effective in neutralizing the stomach because the number of moles of HCl reacted with the NaOH is 0.00216 moles, which is less than Gaviscon. The number of moles of NaOH that were added from the burette is 0.00327 moles (1 tablet of Gaviscon). However, for Quick-eze, the number of moles is 0.00216 moles (1 tablet). This means the average volume of the NaOH have affected the number of moles as the concentration of the sodium hydroxide is 0.1M. This means that if less NaOH was required to neutralise the acid, the number of moles of HCl neutralized by the ant-acid would be greater. For example; by using mole ratio, the number of moles of HCl reacted with the NaOH is 0.00216 moles (1 tablet of Quick-eze). The number of moles of HCl that were neutralized by Quick-eze was 0.00284 moles. Nevertheless, 0.00173 moles of HCl neutralized by Gaviscon. This explains that the excess amount (no of moles) of HCl was greater, which reacted with the NaOH.

Volumetric glassware, such as a conical flask, pipette or the burette might have accumulated a systematic error. For example; the burette is not precise when determining the endpoint. It is a random error, but it can also be a systemic error due to the calibration of the glassware used in this experiment. A systematic error occurred during this experiment was the inaccuracy of the measuring scale. This is because the same measuring scale was used in each trial to determine the amount of the antacid tablet. However, the problem was that there was never one significant value mostly because there is no stable reading. To solve this problem, use a more accurate measuring scale to reduce the change in

    Besides, the conical flask should be stirred all along the titration to ensure the two solutions can be mixed evenly. Furthermore, repeat the experiment for getting the average readings to ensure the accuracy of the experiment. Lastly, keep the eyes in level with the liquid surface while reading the burette to prevent parallax…

    The composition of Alka-Seltzer allow the most volume of hydrochloric acid to be neutralized. Half a tablet of Alka-Seltzer can neutralize 46 mL of hydrochloric acid, half a tablet of Tums can only neutralize 38 mL, and half of a Rolaids tablet can neutralize 14 mL. Evidently, the most effective antacid is Alka-Seltzer, because a small amount of it can help to neutralize a significant amount of hydrochloric acid. Whereas, more Tums and Rolaids would need to be consumed in order to reach the same effectiveness as the…

    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    Start off by weighing two paracetamol tablets using some accurate scales. Record the mass down (1.15g). This had to be as accurate and precise as we could get it so we had the correct weight to start the experiment. Without this then the results we found at the end would not be accurate. A problem that could be faced with this is that the scales may not have been fully set to zero. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right weight has been set.…

    This could be due to the many assumptions being made in this experiment. We are assuming that there was no cross contamination between Solution A, B and water. Though it is highly likely that someone used the same pipette or measuring cylinder to measure chemicals as all three solutions were clear and colourless as notes in the overall observations. This could affect the content of each of the beakers as it would change the concentrations and/or volume of the solutions which was to be kept constant (refer to Table 1.1) greatly affecting the data obtained.…

    The purpose of this experiment was the reaction rate, and how surface area affected the reaction rate between water and alka seltzer tablets. The half crushed tablet had more particles in the tablet causing more surface area to dissolve in the water. The more surface area in the tablet, the more efficient it is in reacting in with water. Overall in my experiment, it was successful and it was a valid experiment. This experiment had taught me and to understand that the effect…

    Three titrations were carried out: Acetic acid/NaOH, Tris/HCl and Gylcine/NaOH. 25ml of the weak acid or weak base was put into a beaker and its pH measured. Then it was titrated with the strong acid or strong base respectively while measuring the pH of the buffer (using a pH probe) on addition of every 1 ml of acid or base from the burette. Two point calibration was carried out prior to each titration using the three calibration solutions of pH 4, 7 and 9.2; for the Acetic acid/NaOH the calibration solutions used were: 4 and 7, for the Tris/HCl and for the Gylcine/NaOH the solutions used were 7 and 9.2. When carrying out the titration plot a rough graph in real time to immediately highlight any anomalies. For comparison carry out a similar experiment with strong acid and strong base where the acid is in the beaker and base is in the burette.…

    An Alka-Seltzer tablet was accurately weighed and recorded using a weighing boat and analytical balance. A fragmented piece between 0.2100g and 0.2800g was also weighed and recorded. 500mL of water was placed in a 600mL beaker. 80mL of water was then mixed with 20mL of 6M HCl in a 150mL beaker to create 1.2M HCl. A 1.5g piece of Alka-Seltzer tablet was then added to the HCl solution. After complete evolution of CO2, gravity filtration was used to catch all of the starch produced from the reaction. The buret was filled with the filtrated solution and the glass tube end of a rubber tube was inserted about 2 inches into the mouth of the buret. While keeping a finger over the buret mouth, the entire buret was quickly inverted and the tubing and mouth completely submerged into the water in the 600mL beaker. The buret was then clamped into place while double checking the buret mouth was under the water level and the rubber tubing was not pinched. The stopcock was then opened extremely slowly until the water level in the buret dropped close to the 50.00mL mark. This level was then recorded.…
