5- Ascorbic acid (molecular weight = 176.12) is too acidic to administer by the parenteral route. The acidity of ascorbic acid is partially neutralized by adding a basic compound, usually sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Thus, the injectable product contains sodium ascorbate, ascorbic acid and the neutralizing agent.

a. What is the pH of an injectable solution containing only ascorbic acid in the concentration of 55 g per liter of solution (Ka1 = 5 x 10-5 and Ka2 = 1.6 x 10-12).

b. What is the molar ratio of sodium ascorbate to ascorbic acid and the percentage required to prepare an injectable solution with a pH of 5.77?

A major organic acid in this juice is malic acid, a dicarboxylic acid with molecular weight of 134. You are asked to determine the total acidity of this juice and a 10-mL portion of this juice took 8.5 mL of 0.105 N NaOH to neutralize to the phenolphthalein endpoint. What is the acidity in mg malic acid/mL juice unit and in % (weight) unit?

Acetic acid (molecular weight = 60.05 g/mol) and sodium acetate (molecular weight = 82.03 g/mol) can form a buffer with an acidic pH. In a 500.0 mL volumetric flask, the following components were added together and mixed well, and then diluted to the 500.0 mL mark: 100.0 mL of 0.300 M acetic acid, 1.00 g of sodium acetate, and 0.16 g of solid NaOH (molecular weight = 40.00 g/mol). What is the final pH? The Ka value for acetic acid...

An aspirin tablet (acetylsalicylic acid, pKa = 3.49, molecular weight = 180.15) was taken orally with cold water to make a solution of aspirin in the stomach fluids of 0.00167 M. The cold water produced a temperature in the stomach temporarily of 25 °C. What is the percentage of aspirin in the ionized form in the stomach in which the pH of the fluid is 3.2?

.247 grams maleic acid (molecular weight 144.13 g/mol) was mixed with .25 mL HCl, .07 grams of crystals resulted - which shoud be fumaric acid. 1. Was the major product cis or trans isomer? 2. What is the percent yeild of each isomer? (The weight of the other isomer is the difference between the mass of the product and the mas of the starting material) 3. Explain why formation of one geometric isomer is favored over another (...my guess would...
