Salicylic acid, hoc6h4co2h, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. the acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838. (a) both functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with ka = 1.0 × 10-3 for the —co2h group and 4.2 × 10-13 for the —oh group. what is the ph of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility=1.8 g/l)? (b) aspirin was discovered as a result of efforts to produce a derivative of salicylic acid that would not be irritating to the stomach lining. aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, ch3co2c6h4co2h. the —co2h functional group is still present, but its acidity is reduced, ka = 3.0 × 10-4. what is the ph of a solution of aspirin with the same concentration as a saturated solution of salicylic acid (see part a). (c) under some conditions, aspirin reacts with water and forms a solution of salicylic acid and acetic acid: ch3co2c6h4co2h(aq) + h2o(l) → hoc6h4co2h(aq) + ch3co2h(aq) which of the acids, salicylic acid or acetic acid, produces more hydronium ions in such a solution?

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.
