Explanation / Answer

Tablet analysis

Mass of active ingredient = 1000 mg (0.1 g)

mass of tablet = 2.22 g

Total moles of HCl added = 3 M x 5 ml = 15 mmol

moles NaOH needed = 6 M x 3.98 ml = 23.88 mmol

Here, moles of NaOH used for neutralization is much higher than the total moles of HCl added intially to the tablet

Thus, the values are incorrect and needs be fixed

Once correct values are added

moles of HCl reacted = Total moles of HCl added - moles of NaOH used

moles of active ingredient = moles of HCl reacted

Given the formula of the acitive ingreadient and molar mass

mass of active ingredient in tablet = moles of active ingredient x molar mass of ingredient

% mass of inert material = (Total mass of tablet - mass of active ingredient) x 100/total mass of tablet
