If 185mg of acetaminophen were obtained from a tablet containing 350mg of acetaminophen, what would be the weight percentage recovery?
thanks in advance!
[185/350]*100 = %
To calculate the weight percentage recovery, you need to divide the amount obtained by the initial amount and multiply by 100.
In this case, the amount of acetaminophen obtained is 185mg, and the initial amount of acetaminophen in the tablet is 350mg.
So, the weight percentage recovery can be calculated as follows:
Weight Percentage Recovery = (Amount obtained / Initial amount) x 100
Weight Percentage Recovery = (185mg / 350mg) x 100
Weight Percentage Recovery = 52.857143% (rounded to 3 decimal places)
Therefore, the weight percentage recovery of acetaminophen is approximately 52.857%.
