Aluminum atomic number 13 becomes Neon with an atomic number of 10 when it loses three valence electrons.
The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).
This problem is providing the basic dissociation constant of ibuprofen (IB) as 5.20, its pH as 8.20 and is requiring the equilibrium concentration of the aforementioned drug by giving the chemical equation at equilibrium it takes place. The obtained result turned out to be D) 4.0 × 10−7 M, according to the following work:
First of all, we set up an equilibrium expression for the given chemical equation at equilibrium, in which water is omitted for it is liquid and just aqueous species are allowed to be included:
![Kb=\frac{[IBH^+][OH^-]}{[IB]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Kb%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BIBH%5E%2B%5D%5BOH%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BIB%5D%7D)
Next, we calculate the concentration of hydroxide ions and the Kb due to the fact that both the pH and pKb were given:

![[OH^-]=10^{-5.8}=1.585x10^{-6}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D10%5E%7B-5.8%7D%3D1.585x10%5E%7B-6%7DM)

Then, since the concentration of these ions equal that of the conjugated acid of the ibuprofen (IBH⁺), we can plug in these and the Kb to obtain:
![6.31x10^{-6}=\frac{(1.585x10^{-6})(1.585x10^{-6})}{[IB]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6.31x10%5E%7B-6%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281.585x10%5E%7B-6%7D%29%281.585x10%5E%7B-6%7D%29%7D%7B%5BIB%5D%7D)
Finally, we solve for the equilibrium concentration of ibuprofen:
![[IB]=\frac{(1.585x10^{-6})(1.585x10^{-6})}{6.31x10^{-6}}=4.0x10^{-7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BIB%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281.585x10%5E%7B-6%7D%29%281.585x10%5E%7B-6%7D%29%7D%7B6.31x10%5E%7B-6%7D%7D%3D4.0x10%5E%7B-7%7D)
