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

Balance the equation and write the reaction-quotient expression, qc. u(s) + f2(g) ----> uf6(g)
Alona [7]
The equation presented above is that of uranium reacting with fluorine forming uranium fluoride. 

The chemical reaction can be balanced by carefully studying the equation and balancing the number of atoms of each of the element in both sides of the chemical reaction. That is,
 
                  <em>         U(s) + 3F₂(g) --> UF₆(g)</em>

What is true when a reaction has reached equilibrium?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The concentration of the products and reactants is constant.

Explanation:

Once the reversible reaction that proceeds forward and backward simultaneously has reached it's state of chemical equlibrium, the concentration of products and reactants become constant.

This means that the rate at which the reactants react to form products becomes equal to the rate at which products react to form the reactants again. At this point there will be no further change in the concentration of reactants and products with time. In chemical equilibrium the concentration of a reactant or a product is expressed in moles per cubic decimeter ( mol / dm^3.
