3. Linus Pauling (recipient of 2 Nobel Prizes, one for Chemistry and another for Peace) wrote a book, "Vitamin C and the Common Cold", which proposed that large doses of vitamin C can cure the common cold. One commercial over-the-counter production consists of 500.0 mg tablets that are 20.0 % by mass Vitamin C. How many of these tablets are need for a 1.00 g dose of vitamin C? Each 500.0 mg tablet costs 2 cents. If you can take a 1000.0 mg table of pure vitamin C for 9 cents a tablet, which would be more cost effective?

Cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁O₄N) is a natural substance found in cocaleaves, which have been used for centuries as a local anestheticand stimulant. Illegal cocaine arrives in the United States eitheras the pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt(C₁₇H₂₁O₄NHCl). At 25C, the salt is very soluble in water(2.50 kg/L), but cocaine is much less so (1.70 g/L). (a) Whatis the maximum amount (in g) of the salt that can dissolve in50.0 mL of water? (b) If the solution in part (a) is treated withNaOH, the salt is converted to cocaine. How much additionalwater (in L) is needed to dissolve it?
Cocaine(C17H21O4N) is a natural substance found in the leaves of the coca plant, which has been used for centuries as a local anesthetic and stimulant. Illegal cocaine arrives in the USA either as a pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt(C7H21O4NHCl). At 25 degrees celsius, the salt is very soluble in water(2.59kg/L), but pure cocaine is much less so(1.70g/L) a. What is the maximum amount of salt in grams that can dissolve in 50.0mL of water? b.

When Kay added 30g of Hydrochloric acid (HCI) to 65g of Zn, bubbles appeared and a white precipitate, zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was produced. She found that the mass of the zinc chloride was 93g. Since the law of conservation of matter stated that matter can’t be created or destroyed, she was puzzled about the difference in mass. What is the best explanation for the missing 2g?
