If 185 mg of acetaminophen were obtained from a tablet containing 350 mg of acetamino- phen, what would be the weight percentage recovery?

Percentage recovery gives us an idea of the amount of pure substance recovered after the chemical reaction. Percentage recovery can be more than 100 % or less than 100 %. Usually, in any experiment performed the weight percentage recovery will be less than 100. Percent recovery values greater than 100 show that the recovered compound is contaminated.

Amount of acetaminophen initially taken = 350 mg

Amount of acetaminophen obtained after recovery =185 mg

                                                =

                                               = 52.9%

in chemistry, a solution’s concentration is how much of a dissolvable substance, known as a solute, is mixed with another substance, called the solvent. the standard formula is c = m/v, where c is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute dissolved, and v is the total volume
