A pharmaceutical company needs 5.00 moles of epinephrine (C9H13NO3) for a new EpiPen they hope to put on the market. How many grams of adrenaline will the lab need for a shipment of 30.0 Epipens to be made?

Answer 1

5496 g of epinephrine

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 5.00 moles of epinephrine is required to make Epipen.

Molar Mass of epinephrine = 183.20 g/mol

mass of 5 moles of epinephrine=
`5.00 moles * 183.20 g/mol=916 g`

Therefore, 30.00 moles of epinephrine needs 30.00 * 916/5 =5496 g of epinephrine
