CBSEENCH12005741

Nalorphene (C19 H21 NO3) similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawl symptoms in narcotic users. Dose of nalophene generally given is 1.5 mg. Calculate the mass of 1.5 x10–3 m  aqueous solution required for the above dose.

Solution

Molar Mass of C19 H12 NO3
= 19 x 12 + 21 x 1 + 14 + 48
= 228 + 21 + 14 + 48
= 311 g mol–1
Molality (m) = Mass of solute/molarmassMass of solvant in kg1.5 = Mass of solute/31111or  1.5 = Mass of solute311or Mass of solute = 1.5×10-3 × 311 = 0.4665g

  Mass of total solution = 1000 g + 0.467 g  = 1000.467 g
To convert 1.5 g of nalorphene in to g divide by 1000 we get
1.5 mg / 1000  = 0.0015 g
Thus, 0.467 g mass of nalorphene contain

by      = 1000.467 g solution

 for 0.0015 g mass of nalorphene contain

by       = 1000.467 × 0.0015/0.467
 
= 3.21 g.
