Answer:

1.6 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the concentration of ibuprofen in a bottle of Motrin, we need to divide the amount of ibuprofen (in grams) by the volume of the bottle (in liters).

First, we need to convert the volume of the bottle from milliliters (mL) to liters (L):

500 mL = 0.5 L

Now we can calculate the concentration:

Concentration = Amount of ibuprofen / Volume of bottle

Concentration = 0.8 g / 0.5 L

Concentration = 1.6 g/L

Therefore, the concentration of ibuprofen in a bottle of Motrin is 1.6 g/L.
