If so, why or why not?
Thanks in advance

Actually the question doesnt say anything about quantities. Just "predict" if you "expect them" to be soluble?

how much ibuprofen 1g, 1kg, 1 tonne? how much 1M Sodium Hydroxide solution? 1 ml, 1L 1KL?
Yes i suspect that Ibuprofen would be soluble, that's how it works, by becoming soluble and entering the blood stream

Ibuprofen is an NSAID which is believed to work through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX), thus inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. There are at least 2 variants of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). Ibuprofen inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2. It appears that its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activity are achieved principally through COX-2 inhibition; whereas COX-1 inhibition is responsible for its unwanted effects on platelet aggregation and the GI mucosa.
It is soluble in 1.0M NaOH
