A woman is brought into the emergency room experiencing nausea and vomiting. She is also hyperventilating. She says that she ing

ested a bottle of aspirin about two hours earlier. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is converted to salicylic acid in the stomach. Assuming 100% conversion to salicylic acid.
Required:
Calculate the percentage of protonated and unprotonated forms of salicylic acid in her stomach, given a pH of 2.0 for the stomach.

Answer:

Protonated form: 96.87%

Unprotonated form: 3.13%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of protoned and unprotoned forms of salicylic acid we must use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa of salicylic acid is 3.49; [A⁻] is the unprotonated form and [HA]:</em>

<em />

2.0 = 3.49 + log [A⁻] / [HA]

0.03236 = [A⁻] / [HA] <em>(1)</em>

And as:

[A⁻] + [HA] = 100% <em>(2)</em>

<em></em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

0.03236 = 100 - [HA] / [HA]

0.03236 [HA] = 100 - [HA]

1.03236[HA] = 100

<h3>[HA] = 96.87%</h3>

And [A⁻]:

[A⁻] = 100 - 96.87

<h3>[A⁻] = 3.13%</h3>

<em></em>

How is impure copper refined by electrolysis
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

By giving electricity to copper compound solution.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is one of the major way of refined copper. The copper containing solution has two electrodes.i) positive electrodes called anode. ii) negative electrodes called cathode. When electricity is pass into the copper containing solution electrolysis process is starts and impure copper is formed in anode and pure copper is formed in cathode.

So, We can get pure copper in cathode through electrolysis.

Please help me I can describe a real-world situation in which opposite quantities combine to make zero.
ozzi
A hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged; and understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative.

How many moles are in 43.9 L of oxygen
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 2 mol

Explanation:

- According to the ideal gas law, One mole of an ideal gas at STP (standard temperature and normal pressure) occupies 22.4 liters.

- Using cross multiplication,

                               1 mol of (O2)        →       22.4 L

                                       ?                   →        43.9 L

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen in 43.9 L = (43.9 × 1)/ 22.4 = 1.96 mol≈ 2 mol..
