Sucralfate (molecular weight: 2087 g/mol) is a major component of Carafate®, which is prescribed for the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers. The recommended dose for a duodenal ulcer is 1.0g taken orally in 10.0 mL (2 teaspoons) of a solution four times a day. Calculate the molarity of the solution.a. 0.0005 Mb. 0.048 Mc. 0.02087 Md. 0.010 M

Answer:

Option b. 0.048 M

Explanation:

We have the molecular weight and the mass, from sulcralfate.

Let's convert the mass in g, to moles

1 g . 1 mol / 2087 g = 4.79×10⁻⁴ moles.

Molarity is mol /L

Let's convert the volume of solution in L

10 mL . 1L/1000 mL = 0.01 L

4.79×10⁻⁴ mol / 0.01 L = 0.048 mol/L
