A 100.0 mL solution containing 0.976 g of maleic acid (MW = 116.072 g/mol) is titrated with 0.296 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of 56.00 mL of the KOH solution. Maleic acid has pKa values of 1.92 and 6.27
. pH =
At this pH, calculate the concentration of each form of maleic acid in the solution at equilibrium. The three forms of maleic acid are abbreviated H2M, HM–, and M2–, which represent the fully protonated, intermediate, and fully deprotonated forms, respectively.
[M2-] = ___ M
[HM-] = ___ M
[H2M] = ___ M

The active ingredient in a zinc nutritional supplement is ZnSO4·7H2O (molar mass = 287.58 g/mol). Ten zinc tablets containing a mix of the active ingredient and an inactive filler were ground and mixed together thoroughly. The total mass of these ten tablets was 11.890 g. A 2.242 g sample of the finely ground tablets was dissolved in an acidic solution. The solution was neutralized with ammonia and subsequently warmed in a water bath. Addition of (NH4)3PO4 to the solution resulted in the precipitation of ZnNH4PO4. The precipitate was filtered and dried, then ignited to produce 0.180 g of Zn2P2O7 (molar mass = 304.76 g/mol).
1- What is the mass percent of ZnSO4·7H2O in each tablet?
2 and 3- What is the average mass of the active ingredient ZnSO4·7H2O and inactive filler in each tablet?
