Acetaminophen (C8H9NO2) is the active ingredient in many nonprescription pain relievers. Each tablet contains 500 mg of acetamin

ophen, and a typical adult dose is two tablets every eight hours.
• Determine the molar mass of acetaminophen (show your work).
• Calculate the number of moles of acetaminophen in a single tablet (show your work).
• Calculate the number of moles of acetaminophen that an adult would have taken if she took three doses of acetaminophen in one day (show your work).

1) Molar mass C8H9NO2

Element    Atomic mass    # of atoms   mass
                       g/mol                                  g
C               12                         8               12*8 = 96
H                 1                         9                1*9 =    9
N               14                         1               14*1 = 14
O               16                        2                16*2 = 32

                              molar mass =   96 + 9 + 14 + 32 = 151 g/mol

2) Number of mols in a tablet

# of moles = mass / molar mass = 0.500 g / 151 g/mol = 0.003311 moles

3) 3 doses * 2 tablets * 0.003311 moles / tablet = 0.020 moles

O, li, c which electrons experience the greatest effective nuclear charge? express your answer as a chemical formula.
Nataly_w [17]
<span>The effective nuclear charge of an atom = total electrons - inner electrons For O, ENC = 8 - 2 = 6 For Li, ENC = 3 - 2 = 1 For C, ENC = 6 - 2 = 4 The electrons in O experience the greatest effective nuclear charge and that is why O is smaller than C (which is smaller than Li).</span>

What is the oxidation number of chromium in dichromate ion, cr2o72-?
castortr0y [4]
Oxidation number is charge of element in compound. Can be neutral, positive or negative.
Oxygen in dichromate has oxidation number -2, becauce there are seven oxygens, net oxidation number of oxygen is -14.
2·x(oxidation number of Cr) + 7· (-2) = -2   2x= +12
x= +6, oxidation number of one chromium is +6.

Why does liquid stay at a constant temperature while it is boiling?
GaryK [48]
It is because say water boils at 212 F, if it goes higher at 213 it would get so much heat and energy it turns into a gas, so it cannot stay a liquid with 213 because at that point it would be gas, thus when water reaches 212 it's max if it goes any higher it will be gas
