A student has a sample of ocean water that they take to science class. what steps could be taken to determine to classify the oc
ean water as a suspension, solution, element, or compound?
A) Examine the pH of the sample. If the pH is exactly neutral, it is a pure substance that is a compound.
B) Evaporate the water. If salt is left behind, the sample is a mixture that can be defined as a solution.
C) Let the sample settle. If the salt settles to the bottom, it is a mixture that is classified as a solution.
D) Observe the diffraction of light as it moved through the sample. If light does not scatter, it is a pure substance that is elemental.

<u> </u> The pH of 0.035 M aqueous aspirin is 2.48
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Concentration of aspirin = 0.035 M
The chemical equation for the dissociation of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) follows:
<u>Initial:</u> 0.035
<u>At eqllm:</u> 0.035-x x x
The expression of for above equation follows:
We are given:
Putting values in above expression, we get:
Neglecting the value of x = -0.0037 because concentration cannot be negative
So, concentration of = x = 0.0033 M
- To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:
We are given:
= 0.0033 M
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of 0.035 M aqueous aspirin is 2.48
