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.
Molar Mass of C19 H12 NO3
= 19 x 12 + 21 x 1 + 14 + 48
= 228 + 21 + 14 + 48
= 311 g mol–1
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.
