Problem

An antacid tablet with the active ingredient sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}, and mass 0.300 g0.300\,\mathrm{g} was added to 25.00 cm325.00\,\mathrm{cm}^3 of 0.125 mol dm−30.125\,\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}} hydrochloric acid. After the reaction was completed, the excess hydrochloric acid required 3.55 cm33.55\,\mathrm{cm}^3 of 0.200 mol dm−30.200\,\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}} KOH\mathrm{KOH} to reach the equivalence point in a titration. Calculate the percentage of NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3} in the tablet.
