Finding Hydrogen Atoms In Ibuprofen
How many molecules of ibuprofen (C

18
O
2
) contain 2.84 x 10
23
atoms of hydrogen?
First, we want to convert atoms of hydrogen to moles of hydrogen
2.84 x 10
23
atoms H
(1 mole H)
/
(6.022 x 10
23
atoms H
)
= 0.4716 moles H
now, we'll follow with a mole to mole ratio to find
the moles ibuprofen equivalent to 2.84 x 10
23
atoms H
0.4716
moles H
(1 mole C

/
(18

)
= 0.026 moles C

finally, we'll convert moles C
