Gastric juice contains about \(3.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) per liter. If a person produce about 2.6 liters of gastric juice per day, find the number of antacid tablets required to neutralise all the \(\mathrm{HCl}\) produced. Consider each antacid tablet contains \(400 \mathrm{mg}\) of \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_3\).
[Given, atomic masses : \(\mathrm{Al}=27, \mathrm{O}=16\), \(\mathrm{H}=1, \mathrm{Cl}=35.5]\)
