Answer:

-0.75 , 1.25

Explanation:

Number of electrons present in valence shell,

P-O = 5 + 8 = 13

Number of electrons involved in bond formation,

13 - 3 = 10

Number of bonds in PO3 - 4ion = 102

Average P-O bond = 1.25

Average formal charge on Oxygen atom is -0.75

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), HC9H7O4, is the most widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. Find the pH of 0.035 M aqueous

KatRina [158]

The pH of 0.035 M aqueous aspirin is 2.48

Explanation:

We are given:

Concentration of aspirin = 0.035 M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) follows:

$HC_9H_7O_4\rightleftharpoons H^++C_9H_7O_4^-$

Initial: 0.035

At eqllm: 0.035-x x x

The expression of $K_a$ for above equation follows:

$K_a=\frac{[C_9H_7O_4^-][H^+]}{[HC_9H_7O_4]}$

We are given:

$K_a=3.6\times 10^{-4}$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$3.6\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.035-x)}\\\\x=-0.0037,0.0033$

Neglecting the value of x = -0.0037 because concentration cannot be negative

So, concentration of $H^+$ = x = 0.0033 M

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

$H^+$ = 0.0033 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=-\log(0.0033)\\\\pH=2.48$

Hence, the pH of 0.035 M aqueous aspirin is 2.48

L waves are seismic waves that

marta [7]

Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves. Traveling through the interior of the earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves. The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave.
