Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is a weak monoprotic acid. To determine its acid-dissociation constant, a student dissolv

ed 2.00 g of aspirin in 0.600 L of water and measured the pH. What was the Ka value calculated by the student if the pH of the solution was 2.61?

Answer:

The Ka is 3.74 *10^-4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aspirin = 2.00 grams

Volume of water = 0.600 L

pH of solution = 2.61

Molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 180 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C9H8O4 + H2O ⇆ H3O+ + C9H7O4-

Step 3: Calculate moles acetylsalicylic acid

Moles acetylsalicylic acid = mass / molar mass

Moles acetylsalicylic acid = 2.00 grams / 180 g/mol

Moles acetylsalicylic acid = 0.0111 moles

Step 4: The initial concentration

[C9H8O4] = 0.0111 moles / 0.600 L = 0.0185 M

[H3O+] = 0M

[C9H8O4-] = 0M

Step 5: The concentration at the equilibrium

[C9H8O4] =0.0185 - X M

[H3O+] = XM

[C9H8O4-] = XM

Step 6: Calculate Ka

Ka = [H3O+][C9H7O4-] / [C9H8O4]

Ka = x² / (0.0185 - x)

pH = 2.61;  [H3O+] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.61 = 0.00245 = x

Ka = (0.00245)² / (0.0185 - 0.00245) = 3.74 * 10^-4

The Ka is 3.74 *10^-4

What is the IUPAC name for the compound FeS?
densk [106]
The correct answer is option 3. The IUPAC name is Iron(II) sulfide. It is the less stable amorphous form.  When this is powdered, it is pyrophoric or it ignites spontaneously in air. It readily reacts with hydrochloric acid producing hydrogen sulfide.
