Answer :

The molar mass of ibuprofen is, 206.29 g/mole.

The number of moles of ibuprofen in a single tablet is, 0.000969 moles

The number of moles of ibuprofen in four doses is, 0.007752 moles

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mole

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.99 g/mole

1) Now we have to calculate the molar mass of ibuprofen.

Molar mass of ibuprofen, =

The molar mass of ibuprofen = 206.29 g/mole

2) Now we have to calculate the moles of ibuprofen.

Formula used :

Given : Mass of ibuprofen = 200 mg = 0.2 g         (1 mg = 1000 g)

The moles of ibuprofen = 0.000969 moles

3) Now we have to calculate the number of moles of ibuprofen for four doses.

Number of tablets in one dose = 2

Total number of tablets in 4 doses = 4 × 2 = 8

Number of moles of ibuprofen in 8 tablets =

the answer is b & c i believe : )
