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

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

How many grams of mercury are needed to react completely with 157g of sulfur to form hgs?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
<span>To solve this we need to balance the equations first.
 So Hg + S --> HgS is balanced
 One mole of Hg requires one mole of S to form one mole of HgS.
 Number of moles of Sulphur = mass/ molar mass = 157/32 = 4.906
So 4.90 moles of S reacts with 4.90 moles of Hg.
Hence there are 4.90 moles of 4.90 of Hg.
 Mass = number of moles * molar mass of Hg
Mass = 4.906 * 200.59 = 982.891g</span>

Which factors help you identify the solute and the solvent in a solution? Select all that apply. In a solution, the solvent is p
KatRina [158]

The answers would be:

In a solution, the solvent is present in a greater amount.

In a solutions, the solute dissolves in a solvent.

In general, these are the best answers. The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves. A solvent comes in greater amounts in a solution and it is the dissolving agent.

For example, sugar and water.

To make a sugar water solution, you will need to dissolve sugar in water. Sugar is the solute in this case because it is what is being dissolved. The water is the solvent, because it dissolves the sugar.

If you had more sugar than water, then you cannot make a solution.
