1. Solubility of substances in water Predict which of the following substances are soluble
in water. Explain you answer.
The water is a polar substance so if the substances want to dissolve in the water, they must
have polarity.
2. Calculation of pH of pure water The ion product of water at 0°C is 1.14 × 10–15 M2, and
at 100°C it is about 5.13 × 10–13 M2. What is the pH of pure water at 0°C and 100°C?
Water at 0oC:
Water at 100oC:
3. Identifying the Conjugate Base Which is the conjugate base in each of the pairs
below?
(a) RCOOH, RCOO-
(b) RNH2, RNH3+
(c) H2PO4- , H3PO4
(d) HPO42- , H2PO4-
(e) PO43- , HPO42-
(f) H2CO3, HCO3-
(g) HCO3-, CO32-

pH = pKa + log(¿ ¿
5.0 = 4.76 + log(¿ ¿ => log(¿ ¿ = 0.24 => ¿ ¿ = 1.738 (1)
It is absorbed into the blood through the cells lining the stomach and the small intestine.
Absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate of which is
determined by the polarity of the molecule: charged and highly polar molecules pass
slowly, whereas neutral hydrophobic ones pass rapidly. The pH of the stomach contents is
about 1.5, and the pH of the contents of the small intestine is about 6. Is more aspirin
absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach or from the small intestine? Clearly justify
your choice
- Aspirin is mostly absorbed in the stomach. Because aspirin does not has dissociated
group so it will pass radidly in neutral environment.
