\boxed{5.8383\times 10^{20} \text{ molecules}} of ibuprofen present in tablet that contains 200.0 mg of ibuprofen.

Further Explanation:

The formula to calculate moles of ibuprofen is as follows:

\text{Moles of ibuprofen}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of ibuprofen}}{\text{Molar mass of ibuprofen}}                   ...... (1)

Mass of ibuprofen is to be converted from mg to g. The conversion factor for this is as follows:

\text{1 mg}=10^{-3}\text{ g}

Therefore mass of ibuprofen can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Mass of ibuprofen}&=(\text{200.0 mg})\left (\dfrac{10^{-3}\text{ g}}{1\text{ mg}}\right)\\&=0.2000\text{ g} \end{aligned}

The mass of ibuprofen is 0.2000 g.

The molar mass of ibuprofen is 206.29 g/mol.

Substitute 0.2000 g for mass of ibuprofen and 206.29 g/mol for molar mass of ibuprofen in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}\text{Moles of ibuprofen}&=\dfrac{\text{0.2000 g}}{\text{206.29 g/mol}}\\&=\text{0.0009695 mol}\end{aligned}

Avogadro's law states that one mole of substance has 6.022\times10^{23} molecules. Therefore molecules of ibuprofen that are present in 0.0009695 moles of ibuprofen can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Molecules of ibuprofen}&=(\text{0.0009695 mol})\left(\dfrac{6.022\times10^{23}\text{ molecules}}{\text{1 mol}}\right)\\&={5.8383\times10^{20}\text{ molecules}\end{aligned}

Therefore {5.8383\times 10^{20} \text{ molecules}} of ibuprofen are contained in a tablet that has 200.0 mg of ibuprofen in it.

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)

<span>Molecules = 5.85 x 10^20 molecules</span>

What are the various adverse effects of chemistry​
Kisachek [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Chemistry is the reaction between certain elements to </em><em>create a new compound</em><em> which may happen naturally but is mostly man made and hence has lot of good as well as </em><em>adverse effects.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The <em>product or compound</em> that we get and the energy or outcome we receive is the ultimate result that decides whether chemical reaction that has happened is good or bad.

There are reactions that may cause pain and suffering to living beings and  are also able to<em> Infuse damage and destruction</em> are are adverse nature. they can also change the course of nature hence are are <em>dangerous. </em>

the copper anode is weighed before and after the electrolysis reation. if the copper anode is not completely dry when it is weig
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Faraday's constant will be smaller than it is supposed to be.

Explanation:

If the copper anode was not completely dry when its mass was measured, mass of the copper must be heavier than it should have been. Hence, the calculated Faraday’s constant would be smaller than it is supposed to be since when calculating Faraday’s Constant, the charge transferred is divided by the moles of electrons.

A gas sample occupies 350.0 mL at 546 mm Hg. What volume does the gas occupy at 652 mm Hg?​
leva [86]

Answer:

293.1 mL.

Explanation:

  • Boyle's law states that: at a constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
  • It can be expressed as: <em>P₁V₁ = P₂V₂,</em>

P₁ = 546.0 mm Hg, V₁ = 350.0 mL.

P₂ = 652.0 mm Hg, V₂ = ??? mL.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁)/(P₂)</em> = (546.0 mm Hg)(350.0 mL) / (652.0 mm Hg) = <em>293.1 mL.</em>

Silicon has a relatively large latent heat of vaporization of 12800 J/g. This indicates that silicon has:
beks73 [17]
I believe it means that it takes a lot of heat in joules to make silicon vaporize so it stays solid until a great deal of heat has been added. By comparison, water has a latent heat of about 2260 joules per gram so vaporizes much more readily than silicon.
