Acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4) is a monoprotic acid commonly known as "aspirin." A typical aspirin tablet, however, contains only a small amount of the acid. In an experiment to determine its composition, an aspirin tablet was crushed and dissolved in water. It took 12.25 ml of 0.1466 M NAOH to neutralize the solution. Calculate the number of grains of aspirin in the tablet. (One grain = 0.0648 g.) Reaction is shown below. * COOH COONA + NaOH + H,O OCOCH OCOCH3 ASPIRIN O 4 7

Oranges and grapefruits are known as citrus fruits because their acidity comes mainly from citric acid, H3C6H5O7. Calculate the concentration of citric acid in a solution if a 30.00-mL sample is neutralized by 15.10 mL of 0.0100 M KOH. Assume that three acidic hydrogens of each citric acid molecule are neutralized in the reaction.
The pungent odor of vinegar is a result of the presence of acetic acid, CH3COOH. Only one hydrogen atom of the CH3COOH reacts with a base in a neutralization reaction. What is the concentration of acetic acid if a 10.00-mL sample is neutralized by 3.32 mL of 0.0100 M strontium hydroxide?
ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.
Arsenic acid, H3AsO4, is a poisonous acid that has been used in the treatment of wood to prevent insect damage. Arsenic acid has three acidic protons. Say you take a 25.00-mL sample of arsenic acid and prepare it for titration with NaOH by adding 25.00 mL of water. The complete neutralization of this solution requires the addition of 53.07 mL of 0.6441 M NaOH solution. Write the balanced chemical reaction for the titration, and calculate the molarity of the arsenic acid sample.

For which acid solution would you need to add more volume (in mL) to neutralize the base? The HCI solution. The H2SO4 solution. You need to know the acid concentrations to answer this question. You need to know the volume and concentration of’ the NaOH solution to answer this question. c and d plain your answer.
Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.08 11 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidity of the rain is due to the presence of sulfuric acid, what was the concentration of sulfuric acid in this sample of rain?
Glycerol (C3H8O3) is commonly used as an additive to moisturizers. The amount of glycerol added can be determined by titration with permanganate in basic solution. 14MnO4(aq)+C3H8O3(aq)+20OH(aq)14MnO42(aq)+3CO32(aq)+14H2O How many milliliters of 6.15 M KMnO4 are required to completely react with 7.25 mL of an aqueous solution of glycerol (d=1.144g/mL) that is 51.6% by mass?
Describe some physical and chemical properties of acids and bases. What is meant by a strong acid or base? Are strong acids and bases also strong electrolytes? Give several examples of strong acids and strong bases.
What volume of 0.0521 M Ba(OH)2 is required to neutralize exactly 14.20 mL of 0.141 M H3PO4? Phosphoric acid contains three acidic hydrogens.

Chlorisondamine chloride (C14H20Cl6N2) is a drug used in the treatment of hypertension. A 1.28-g sample of a medication containing the drug was treated to destroy the organic material and to release all the chlorine as chloride ion. When the filtered solution containing chloride ion was treated with an excess of silver nitrate, 0.104 g silver chloride was recovered. Calculate the mass percent of chlorisondamine chloride in the medication, assuming the drug is the only source of chloride.
Carminic acid, a naturally occurring red pigment extracted from the cochineal insect, contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It was commonly used as a dye in the first half of the nineteenth century. It is 53.66% C and 4.09% H by mass. A titration required 18.02 mL of 0.0406 M NaOH to neutralize 0.3602 g carminic acid. Assuming that there is only one acidic hydrogen per molecule, what is the molecular formula of carminic acid?
