Answer:
2.14 × 10⁻³ molecules/RSP
3.31 × 10⁻³ molecules/ESP
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of Acetaminophen per Regular Strength Pill (RSP)
A Regular Strength Pill has 1.29 × 10²¹ molecules of Acetaminophen per pill. To convert molecules to moles we will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
1.29 × 10²¹ molecules/RSP × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ molecules = 2.14 × 10⁻³ molecules/RSP
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Acetaminophen per Extra Strength Pill (ESP)
An Extra Strength Pill has 1.99 × 10²¹ molecules of Acetaminophen per pill. To convert molecules to moles we will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
1.99 × 10²¹ molecules/ESP × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ molecules = 3.31 × 10⁻³ molecules/ESP
