A student determined the percentage of the active ingredient magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, in a 1.24 g antacid tablet.

The antacid tablet was added to 50.00 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm−3 sulfuric acid, which was in excess.

The excess sulfuric acid required 20.80 cm3 of 0.1133 mol dm−3 NaOH for neutralization.

Calculate the amount of excess acid present.
