The correct option is D.
The hydrogen atoms that are attached to the nitrogen atom in the ammonia molecule are capable of forming hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bond that exist in the ammonia molecule is the reason why it shows higher boiling point compare to the other hydrides. Hydrogen bond occur in ammonia because ammonia is one of the most electronegative elements.

What is the pH of a solution obtained by dissolving two extra-strength aspirin tablets, containing 470 mg of acetylsalicylic aci
Advocard [28]

Answer:

2.58

Explanation:

Each tablet has a mass of 470 mg. The mass of 2 tablets is 2 × 470 mg = 940 mg = 0.940 g

The molarity of acetylsalicylic acid (aa) is:

M = mass of aa / molar mass of aa × liters of solution

M = 0.940 g / 180.16 g/mol × 0.240 L

M = 0.0217 M

Acetylsalicylic acid is a weak acid, so we can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where,

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(0.0217 × 3.24 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 2.65 × 10⁻³ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 2.65 × 10⁻³ = 2.58

What is the purpose of a buffer?
devlian [24]
The main purpose of a buffer solution is just to resist the change in pH so that the pH of the solution won't be much affected when we add an acid or base into it. The added acid or base is neutralized.
