Ibuprofen is an over the counter medicine used to alleviate pain. The metabolism of ibuprofen in the body follows first-order kinetics. For ibuprofen to be effective, the concentration within the body’s blood must stay above 5.3x10-5 M. A typical dose of ibuprofen is around 600 mg, which gives a concentration of 6.5x10-4 M. How long, in hours, will it take for a dose of 600 mg to reach the point where the ibuprofen is no longer effective? The rate constant for the metabolism of Ibuprofen if 0.0104 1/M min.
