PEPTO BISMOL

Makayla Parker, Mariah Polk, Eliza Hackworth

Task 1 & 2

■ Active chemical: Bismuth Subsalicylate

■ Formula: C7H6BiO4
■ Molar Mass: 12(7)+1(6)+209(1)+16(4)=363
Task Four

If a prescription reads 1.5% w/v, how many grams of

your medication would be delivered by a 250 cc
dosage?
1.5% = 1.5 g/100 mL
250 mL x 1.5g/100 mL
(1 mL = 1 cc)
ANSWER: 3.75g
Task 5

If a patient ingests 400 mg of medicine, how many atoms of

your specific element are they
taking in?

.4g (1mole/363g)(4O/1mole)(6.022x10^23 at O/ 1mole O)

= 2.65 x10^23 atom of O
Task 6

In order to obtain 15 grams of your particular element,

what number of molecules of your medicine must be
ingested
by the patient?

15gO(1mole/16g)(1mole/4mole O)(6.022x23^23
molecules/1 mole) = 1.41 x 10^23 molecules of Pepto
Bismol
Task 7

Assuming your medicine can be delivered orally, how many cubic

centimeters of a 2:500 w/v solution are needed to prepare
13 Liters of a 1:2000 w/v solution?
2/500=.004
1/2000=.005
.004(v)=.0005(13000)
V=1625 cc
{v=mL=cc}
Task 8

Find Clark’s Rule and use it to solve this situation. A 6

year old child weighs 42 pounds. The adult dose of
your medicine is 375 mg. What is the appropriate
dosage for the child?

42/150 (375) = 105 mg pepto bismol

Task 9

If a patient takes 2-200 mg caplets, TID, how many days will take for the
patient
to ingest 4.75 moles of your medication?

2(200mg)= 400 mg
400 mg (3 per day)= 1200 mg
1200 (1 gram/1.2 mg)(1 mole/363 grams PB)= 2.75
= about 3 days
Task 10

If the half-life of your particular 100 g 0 days

medication is 8 days and you
begin with a 100 g sample, 50 g 8 days
what mass remains after 40 25 g 16 days
days? 12.5 g 24 days
6.25 g 32 days
3.125 g 40 days
