Converting 4,000 mg of Ibuprofen to Moles

Converting 4,000 mg of Ibuprofen to Moles

To convert 4,000 mg of ibuprofen to moles, we'll follow these steps:

Convert milligrams to grams

Use the molar mass of ibuprofen to convert grams to moles

Step 1: Convert milligrams to grams

4,000 mg = 4 g (1 g = 1,000 mg)

Step 2: Convert grams to moles

We'll use the molar mass of ibuprofen calculated earlier: 206.272 g/mol

Formula: number of moles = mass in grams 梅 molar mass

Number of moles = 4 g 梅 206.272 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.01939 mol

Therefore, 4,000 mg (or 4 g) of ibuprofen is equivalent to approximately 0.01939 moles.

This amount is about 3.49% of the 0.555 mole we calculated in the previous question, which shows that 4,000 mg is a relatively small amount compared to 0.555 mole of ibuprofen.
