As a chemist for an agricultural products company, you have just developed a new herbicide,"Herbigon," that you think has the potential to kill weeds effectively. A sparingly soluble salt, Herbigon is dissolved in 1 M acetic acid for technical reasons having to do with its production. You have determined that the solubility product Ksp of Herbigon is 8.70x10-6. Although the formula of this new chemical is a trade secret, it can be revealed that the formula for Herbigon is X-acetate (XCH3COO, where "X" represents the top-secret cation of the salt). It is this cation that kills weeds. Since it is critical to have Herbigon dissolved (it won't kill weeds as a suspension), you are working on adjusting the pH so Herbigon will be soluble at the concentration needed to kill weeds. What pH must the solution have to yield a solution in which the concentration of X is 2.00x10-3 M? The pK, of acetic acid is 4.76. Express your answer numerically.

A general chemistry student isolated ciguatera toxin (a poisonous polyether produced by the dinoflagallete Gambierdiscus toxicus) from a red tide bloom off the coast of San Francisco, California. A partial structure of ciguatera toxin is shown below. The first steps in characterizing new substances typically involve determining physical properties. In a freezing point experiment, a 174.0 mg sample of pure ciguatera toxin was dissolved in 2.075 g of diphenylether (which has a freezing point = 26.8400 °C and a freezing point depression constant = 8.000 °C/m). The freezing point of the solution was observed to be 26.3302 °C. From this experiment, calculate the molar mass of ciguatera toxin.
