Find the number of ibuprofen molecules in a tablet containing 200.0 mg of ibuprofen (c13h18o2). express the amount to four significant figures.

Answered by maham237 @



First let us calculate for the molar mass of ibuprofen:


Molar mass = 13 * 12 g/mol + 18 * 1 g/mol + 2 * 16 g/mol


Molar mass = 206 g/mol = 206 mg / mmol



Calculating for the number of moles:


moles = 200 mg / (206 mg / mmol)


moles = 0.971 mmol = 9.71 x 10^-4 moles



Using the Avogadros number, we calculate the number of
molecules of ibuprofen:


Molecules = 9.71 x 10^-4 moles * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules
/ moles)


Molecules = 5.85 x 10^20 molecules
