Answer:
The answer to your question is pH = 2.02
Explanation:
Data
pH = ?
mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 590 mg
volume of water = 340 ml
Process
1.- Calculate the molecular mass of acetylsalicylic acid
Molecular mass = 180.2 g
2.- Convert the mass to moles
180.2 g -------------------- 1 mol
0.59 g -------------------- x
x = (0.59 x 1)/180.2
x = 0.00327 moles of acid
3.- Calculate molarity
Molarity = moles/volume (L)
Molarity = 0.00327/0.34
Molarity = 0.0096
4.- Calculate the pH of the solution
pH = -log[0.0096]
pH = 2.02
