Answer:
Hence the evaporation rate in pints per minute is 0.001583.
Explanation:
Now,
1.5 gallons of paint are used.
It has 5% solid, so total 95% of 1.5 gallon can evaporate(only the solvent part will evaporate).
95% of 1.5 gallon=(95/100)*1.5 = 1.425 gallons.
1gallon = 8 pints.
So 1.425 gallons=8*1.425 pints
=11.4 pints.
Evaporation requires 2 hours. That is 3600*2 seconds = 7200 seconds.
So evaporation rate= 11.4 pints/7200 seconds.
=0.001583 pints per second

Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43
