States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

ASSAY – 20 tablets weighing 2.597 g were crushed to a powder. A portion of the crushed powder (0.5456 g) was shaken with 50 mL of 0.1 M HCl, the mixture was filtered and made up to 100 mL. 10 mL of this solution was further diluted to 100 mL with 0.1 M HCl. The measured absorbance of the diluted solution at 276 nm was 0.582. Additional information: A1% = 72.3, stated content = 20 mg
Calculate:
a) The concentration of orciprenaline in the diluted solution in mg/L
