Answer:

2.4mol

Explanation:

In order to calculate numbers of moles we have to divide the given mass by the molar mass of the substance (ibuprofen) n= m/M

To calculate the molar mass we have

C13= 12*13= 156

H18= 1*18=18

O2= 16*2 =32

Molar mass M = 153+18+32= 206g

Given the mass m= 250g per tablet

Hence number of moles in one tablet is n= 250/206= 1.2 mol

Therefore the total number of ibuprofen you took is 1.2*2 (for the two tablets) = 2.4 moles

Which of these equations is balanced? a. H2SO4 + 2Al → Al2(SO4)3 + H2 b. 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2KNO3 + PbCl2

Lapatulllka [165]

The answer is B, you just check if it is the same on the left and right side

A:
Left side - Right side
2xH - 2xH
1xS - 3xS
4xO - 12xO
2xAl - 2xAl

Therefore A is not correct

B:
Left side - right side
2xK - 2xK
1xCl - 1xCl
1xPb - 1xPb
2xN - 2xN
6xO - 6xO

B is therefore correct as both sides add up

Answer:

molarity 0.1

Explanation:

mass of copper nitrate =2.4

no of moles exist in 120ml= 2.4/187.5=0.0128mole

molarity =.0.0128/.12=0.1m
