Nalorphene (C_19H_21NO_3) , similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawal symptoms innarcotic users. Dose of nalorphene generally given is 1.5 mg. Calculate the mass of 15 xx 10^(-3) maqueous solution required for the above dose.

Answer»

Solution :`1.5 xx 10^(-3)`m solution MEANS `1.5 xx 10^(-3)` mole of nalorphene is dissolved in 1 kg of WATER.
Molar mass of `C_19H_21NO_3 = 19 xx 12 + 21 + 14 + 48 = 311 g "mol"^(-1)`
` therefore1.5 xx 10^(-3) `mole of `C_19H_21NO_3` contains ` = 1.5 xx 10^(-3) xx 311 g = 0.467g = 467 mg` of ` C_19H_21NO_3`
Mass of solution = 1000 g + 0.467 g = 1000.467 g
For 467 mg of nalorphene, solution REQUIRED = 1000.467 g
For 1.5 mg of nalorphene, solution required =`(1000.467)/(467) xx 1.5 = 3.21 g `

Nalorphene (C_(19)H_(21)NO_(3)), similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawl symptoms in narcotic users. Does of nalorphene generally given is 1.5 mg. Calculate the mass of 1.5xx10^(-3)m aqueous solution required for the above does.

Answer»

Solution :`1.5xx10^(-3)" m solution means that "1.5xx10^(-3)" moles of NALORPHENE is dissolved in 1 kg of WATER."`
`"Molar MASS of "C_(19)H_(21)NO_(3)=19xx12+21+14+48="311 g mol"^(-1)`
`therefore""1.5xx10^(-3)" mole of "C_(19)H_(21)NO_(3)=1.5xx10^(-3)xx"311 g = 0.467 g = 467 mg"`
`therefore"Mass of solution = 1000 g + 0.467 g = 1000.467 g"`
Thus, for 467 mg of nalorphene, solution REQUIRED= 1000.467 g
`therefore` For 1.5 mg of nalorphene, solution required `=(1000.467)/(467)xx1.5=3.21g`.
44.

Nalophene (C_(19)H_(21)NO_(3)), similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawal symptoms in narcotic users. Dose of nalorphene generally given is 1.5 mg. Calculate the mass of 1.5xx10^(-3) m aqueous solution required for the above dose.

Answer»

Solution :The molar MASS of nalorphene `C_(19)H_(21)NO_(3)` is given as :
`19xx12+21xx1+1xx14+3xx16`
= 311 g `mol^(-1)`
In `1.5xx10^(-3)`m aqueous solution of nalorphene, 1 kg (1000 g) of water CONTAINS
`= 1.5xx10^(-3)` mol of nalorphene i.e.,
`= 1.5xx10^(-3)`
= 311 g
= 0.4665 g of nalorphene
Therefore, TOTAL mass of the solution
`= (1000+0.4665)g`
= 1000.4665 g
This implies that the mass of the solution containing 0.4665 g of nalorphene is 1000.4665 g.
Therefore, mass of the solution containing 1.5 mg of nalorphene is :
`= (1000.4665xx1.5xx10^(-3))/(0.4665)`
= 3.22 g
Hence, the mass of aqueous solution required is 3.22 g.

None of the above

SOLUTION :`W_(NaHSO_(3))/M_(NaHSO_(3)) XX 2 xx 1000 = (0.58)/198 xx 6 xx 100`
`W_(NaHSO_(3)) = (0.58 xx 6 xx 1000 xx 104)/(198 xx 1000) = 4.57`
