The pH of the solution in which one normal adult dose aspirin is dissolved is : 2.7
Given data :
mass of aspirin = 640 mg = 0.640 g
volume of water = 10 ounces = 0.295735 L
molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol
moles of aspirin = mass / molar mass = 0.00355 mol
<h3>Determine the pH of the solution </h3>
First step : <u>calculate the concentration of aspirin</u>
= moles of Aspirin / volume of water
= 0.00355 / 0.295735
= 0.012 M
Given that pKa of Aspirin = 3.5
pKa = -logKa
therefore ; Ka =
= 
From the Ice table
=
=
given that the value of Ka is small we will ignore -x
x² =
x =
Therefore
[ H⁺ ] =
given that
pH = - Log [ H⁺ ]
= - ( -3 + log 1.948 )
= 2.71 ≈ 2.7
Hence we can conclude that The pH of the solution in which one normal adult dose aspirin is dissolved is : 2.7

Answer:
D. the mass of one mole of a substance
Explanation:
The molar mass of a substance is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.
- For an element, the molar mass is the relative atoms mass expressed in grams.
- For example 23g of Na, 40g of oxygen
- For compounds, molar mass is the gram -formula or gram - molecular weight.
- This is determined by the addition of its component atomic masses and then expressed in grams.
Generally, chemists prefer to use morality (B) because it only invovles measuring the final volume of the solution and amount of moles of the solute
