Chapter , Problem 28(choose chapter or problem)
Aluminum hydroxide \(\left(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\right)\) is often present in antacids to neutralize stomach acid (HCl). The reaction occurs as follows: \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_3(\mathrm{s})+3\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq})\rightarrow\mathrm{AlCl}_3(\mathrm{aq})+3\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})\) is present in an antacid tablet, determine the theoretical yield of \(\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}\) produced when the tablet reacts with HCl.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Antacids
Antacids are the chemical substances used to treat the condition called acidity. The excessive consumption of fat or oil-containing foods often leads to indigestion, producing an excess of acid in the stomach. The antacid will be a mild base that helps to neutralize the excess acid formed.
