60 days have passed. In every 12 days the radioisotope loses half of its life. So in the first 12 days, from 160 grams it decreases to half so it becomes 80 grams. The second 12 days, from 80 grams, it decreases to half and becomes 40 g. The third 12 days, from 40 it becomes half to 20 g. The fourth 12 days, from 20 g it becomes half to 10 g. And in the fifth 12 days, from 10 g it becomes half to 5 grams. So 5 times it became half.
5 x 12 ( days)= 60 days

The painkiller, Advil® contains the active ingredient ibuprofen (IB), which has a pKb of
denis23 [38]

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]}

Next, we calculate the concentration of hydroxide ions and the Kb due to the fact that both the pH and pKb were given:

pOH=14-8.20=5.80

[OH^-]=10^{-5.8}=1.585x10^{-6}M

Kb=10^{-5.20}=6.31x10^{-6}

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]}

Finally, we solve for the equilibrium concentration of ibuprofen:

[IB]=\frac{(1.585x10^{-6})(1.585x10^{-6})}{6.31x10^{-6}}=4.0x10^{-7}
