(10 points) what is the % of the drug that is dissociated [%%) and the % that 0.255 M solution of aspirin? is associated [% HA ] in a

Explanation / Answer

HA --> H+ + A-

(0.225 – x) --> x + x

Ka = 3.16 x 10-4 = x2 / (0.225 – x)

a)

Assume x << 0.225

x2 = 0.225 * 3.16 x 10-4

x2 = 7.11 x 10-5

x = 8.4 x 10-3 M

[H+] = x = 8.4 x 10-3 M

pH = -log([H+]) = 2.08

b)

% dissociated [A-] = x / 0.225 * 100

= 3.7 %

% associated [HA] = 100 – 3.7 %

= 96.3 %
