Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alka Seltzer tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), 1000 mg of citric acid, and 1916 mg of sodium bicarbonate. The acids originally contained in a tablet give only 17.4 mmol of H+, which is not enough to neutralize all of the sodium bicar- bonate (22.8 mmol).
