Phenylephrine HCL has a molecular weight of 203.66 g/mol. How many formula units are in 10 mg of phenylephrine HCL?

Solutions

Expert Solution

weight of phenylephrine HCL   = 10mg = 10*10^-3 g = 10^-2g

molecular weight of phenylephrine HCl     = 203.66 g/mol

no of moles of phenylephrine HCL     = W/G.M.Wt

                                                             = 10^-2/203.66   = 4.91*10^-5 moles

no of formula units   = no of moles * 6.023*10^23 formula units/mole

                               = 4.91*10^-5 moles* 6.023*10^23 formula units/mole

                               = 2.96*10^19 formula units >>>>>answer
