Calcium carbonate caco3 reacts with stomach acid hcl


Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with stomach acid (HCl, hydrochloric acid) according to the following equation:

CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)?CO2(g)+H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq)

A typical antacid contains CaCO3. If such an antacid is added to 10.0 mL of a solution that is 0.500 M in HCl, how many grams of CO2 gas are produced?
