Salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838. Both functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka = 1.0x10 for the CO2H group and 4.2x10 13 for the OH group. What is the pH of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility = 1.8 g/L). (Please use standard notation and don't enter units for your answer.)

Salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838. (a) Both functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka = 1.0 ×× 10−3 for the—CO2H group and 4.2 ×× 10−13 for the −OH group. What is the pH of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility = 1.8 g/L). (b) Aspirin was discovered as a result of efforts to produce a derivative of salicylic acid that would not be irritating to the stomach lining. Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, CH3CO2C6H4CO2H. The −CO2H functional group is still present, but its acidity is reduced, Ka = 3.0 ×× 10−4. What is the pH of a solution of aspirin with the same concentration as a saturated solution of salicylic acid (See Part a).

The pH in your swimming pool is too low. The directions in your instruction manual tell you to add 4.5 lb of sodium bicarbonate per 10,000 gallons of water. Unfortunately, the invoice from your contractor states the volume as 3260 cubic feet. How much sodium bicarbonate do you need to add? One cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is equivalent to one milliliter. Use this conversion factor along with ones you have already been given.
Potassium is a very reactive metal, but in compounds it is present as the potassium ion and is not very reactive. For example, dry potassium bicarbonate powder can be used to extinguish burning liquids. Why is there such a difference in the reactivity of potassium metal and the potassium ion? A. The potassium in the bicarbonate salt is a base, but the potassium metal is an acid. B. The potassium in the bicarbonate salt is an acid, but the potassium metal is a base. C. The combustion of the liquids suppresses the potassium's ability to react. D. The potassium metal can readily ionize by losing its one valence electron; the potassium in the bicarbonate salt is already ionized. E. The potassium atom is bonded to an oxygen atom in the bicarbonate salt, but in the metal it is unbound and free to react.
