If 185 mg of acetaminophen were obtained from a tablet containing 350 mg of acetamino- phen, what would be the weight percentage
1 answer:
Percentage recovery gives us an idea of the amount of pure substance recovered after the chemical reaction. Percentage recovery can be more than 100 % or less than 100 %. Usually, in any experiment performed the weight percentage recovery will be less than 100. Percent recovery values greater than 100 show that the recovered compound is contaminated.
Amount of acetaminophen initially taken = 350 mg
Amount of acetaminophen obtained after recovery =185 mg
=
= 52.9%

<h3>Further explanation </h3>The heat to change the phase can be formulated :
Q = mLf (melting/freezing)
Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation)
Lf=latent heat of fusion
Lv=latent heat of vaporization
The heat needed to raise the temperature
Q = m . c . Δt
1. heat to raise temperature from -20 °C to 0 °C
2. phase change(ice to water)
3. heat to raise temperature from 0 °C to 25 °C
