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)
A solution is made by dissolving 22.3 g of HONH₃ClO₃ in 500.0 mL of water. Using Ka(HONH₃⁺) = 9.1 × 10⁻⁷, determine the pH of the solution.
