Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, used to treat chronic arthritic pain caused by inflammation of the joints. ibuprofen Draw a circle around any chiral centrein the above structure. Write down the molecular formula of ibuprofen. Calculate the Mr of ibuprofen and use it to calculate how many grams are needed to make 100 cm3 of a 0.15 mol dm–3 solution. Vigorous oxidation of ibuprofen produces a dibasic acid A. A solution containing 0.10 g of A required 12.0 cm3 of 0.10 mol dm–3 NaOH for neutralisation. Suggest a structure for A, showing your working. The Ka value for ibuprofen is 6.3 ×10–6mol dm–3. Write an expression for Ka. Use the Ka value to calculate the pH of a 0.15 mol dm–3 solution of ibuprofen. Use CH CH2 CH3 CH3 C O CH OH CH3 [T To avoid problems with digestive irritation over a long period of use, research is being carried out into ways of administering ibuprofen using skin patches. For this use the compound is dissolved in a hydrophilic gel which acts as a buffer. What do you understand by the term buffer? The buffer used in the pharmaceutical preparation is a solution containing Na2HPO4 and NaH2PO4. These salts contain the HPO4 2– and H2PO4 – ions respectively. Write equations to show how this buffer reacts with H+ ions, OH– ions. A buffer solution containing equal concentrations of the two sodium phosphate salts has a pH of 7.20. Calculate the pH of a pharmaceutical preparation containing 0.002 mol dm–3 of Na2HPO4 and 0.005 mol dm–3 of NaH2PO4. Examiner s Use
