Chapter 7, Problem 11CI

Oseltamivir, C 16 H 28 N 2 O 4 , is a drug that is used to treat influenza. The preparation of oseltamivir begins with the extraction of shikimic acid from the seedpods of star anise. From 2.6 g of star anise, 0.13 g of shikimic acid can be obtained and used to produce one capsule containing 75 mg of oseltamivir. The usual adult dosage for treatment of influenza is two capsules of oseltamivir daily for 5 days. (2.7, 6.5, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6)

a. What is the empirical formula of oseltamivir?
b. What is the mass percent composition of oseltamivir?
c. If black spheres are carbon atoms, white spheres are hydrogen atoms, and red spheres are oxygen atoms, what is the molecular formula of shikimic acid?
d. How many moles of shikimic acid are contained in 130 g of shikimic acid?
e. How many capsules containing 75 mg of oseltamivir could be produced from 155 g of star anise?
f. How many grams of C are in one dose (75 mg) of oseltamivir?
g. How many kilograms of oseltamivir would be needed to treat all the people in a city with a population of 500 000 people if each person consumes two oseltamivir capsules a day for 5 days?

C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 <-> C9H8O4 + C2H4O2 1.0g of salicylic acid reacts completely with an recess if acetic anhydride. Whats the theoretical yield of aspirin in G?
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is made by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride [(CH3CO)2O]: C7H6O3(s)+ (CH3CO)2O(l) → C9H8O4(s) + CH3COOH(l) In one preparation, 3.077 g of salicylic acid and 5.50 mL of acetic anhydride react to form 3.281 g of aspirin. (a) Which is the limiting reactant (d of acetic anhydride = 1.080 g/mL)? (b) What is the percent yield of this reaction? (c) What is the percent atom economy of this reaction?
