Willow bark is a traditional source of a chemical used to develop a well-known painkiller.
Name the drug traditionally developed from the chemical extracted from willow bark.
Table 1 shows information about the mass of salicylic acid found in different tissues of a healthy willow tree.
Table 1
| Part of willow tree | Mass of salicylic acid in 100 g of tissue (g) |
|---|---|
| Outer bark | 2.4 |
| Inner bark | 3.2 |
| Twigs | 0.8 |
A drought-stressed willow tree has a physiological condition that limits its chemical production. The mass of salicylic acid found in the inner bark of this stressed tree is only 35% of the mass shown in Table 1.
Calculate the mass of salicylic acid in 250 g of this drought-stressed inner bark. Give your answer in mg.
