An antacid tablet with the active ingredient sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3\text{NaHCO}_3, with a mass of 0.300 g was added to 25.00 cm325.00 \text{ cm}^3 of 0.125 mol dm−30.125 \text{ mol dm}^{-3} hydrochloric acid. After the reaction was completed, the excess hydrochloric acid required 3.55 cm33.55 \text{ cm}^3 of 0.200 mol dm−30.200 \text{ mol dm}^{-3} KOH to reach the equivalence point in a titration. Calculate the percentage of sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3\text{NaHCO}_3, in the tablet.
