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

A sample of an unknown gas occupies 5.51 L at 1.31 atm. What pressure would thisgas exert in a 0.520 L container if the temperat
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

P₂ = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

The pressure (P), Volume (V) relationship with Temperature (T) & mass (n) held constant is an inverse proportionality. That is Boyles Law ...

P ∝ 1/V => P = k/V => k = P·V

For two pressure-volume conditions, the proportionality constant (k) remains constant where k₁ = k₂ and P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂ => P₂ = P₁·V₁/V₂

Given:

P₁ = 1.31 atm.

V₁ = 5.51 L

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 0.520 L

V₂ = (1.31 atm)(5.51L)/(0.520L) = 13.88096154 atm (calc. ans.) = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)

I would go with C, because you would always start with products and end with reactants.
