A typical aspirin tablet contains 325 mg acetylsalicylic
acid. Calculate the pH of a solution that is prepared by
dissolving 8 aspirin tablets in enough water to make a
209 mL solution. Assume the aspirin tablets are pure
acetylsalicylic acid, Ka = 3.3 x 104 . Acetylsalicylic
acid has a molar mass of 180 g/mol.
pH =
The acidity of a solution is measured by its pH.
If Ht represents the concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles/liter) in the solution,
the pH is defined by pH
- log Ht|
Based on careful measurements and calculations, a chemist examines two solutions and asserts:
"The hydrogen ion concentration of Solution A
is 65.86% greater than the hydrogen ion concentration of Solution B."
If the pH of solution B is 10.00, determine the pH of Solution A.
Report your answer to two decimal places.
Solution A has pH equal to
Number
(Report to the nearest 0.01)
Acidity of a solution is determined by the concentration H of hydrogen ions in the solution (measured in moles per liter of solution). Chemists use the negative of the logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions to define the pH scale. pH = − log H
Solution A has a pH value of 5.6 and solution B has a pH value of 2.7. Compare the acidity of the two solutions.
a) Solution A is more acidic by a factor of 2.07b) Solution B is more acidic by a factor of 794.33c) Solution A is more acidic by a factor of 794.33d) Solution A is more acidic by a factor of 2.90
