(ii) Mass of Aspirin taken that would be toxic = 1100 x 50 = 55000 mg Minimum number of Aspirin tablets = 55000/ 325 = 169.23 = 170 (b) (i) It will decompose in moist conditions (undergo hydrolysis). (ii) Acidic hydrolysis Dilute HCl and heat. C O O H O H + C O O H O C O C H H H + C O O C H H H H H2O (iii) Add aq Br2 to both compounds separately. salicylic acid: reddish brown aq Br2 will decolourise. aspirin: reddish brown aq Br2 will not decolourise. (iv) Aspirin is a stronger acid than acetic acid. The negative charge on the anion C O O- O C O C H H H is delocalised into the benzene ring, stabilises it. (c) (i) Standard enthalpy change of combustion of salicylic acid is when one mole of salicylic acid is completely burnt in oxygen at standard conditions of 298 K and 1 atm. (ii) Heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter = 13.62 x 2.5 = 34.05 kJ Amt of salicylic acid = 34.05 /( 3.00 x 10 3) = 0.01135 mol Mass of salicylic acid = 0.01135 x 138 = 1.5663 g Mass of boric acid = 3.56 – 1.5663 = 1.9937 g Mass percentage of boric acid = 1.9937 /3.56 x 100% = 56.0 % 2 (a) N H H N H H 107o Trigonal pyramidal (b) (i) PV = nRT 1.5 x 105 x V = 1 x 8.31 x 300 V = 0.0166 m3 ( or 16.6 dm3) (ii) This is due to the presence of H bonding between the hydrazine molecules , therefore intermolecular forces of attraction becomes significant. (iii) High temperature, low pressure. (iv)

(ii) 25 b 24 [OH ][N H ]K [N H ] −+ = (iii) -14 b -9 10K= 3.33 x 10 = 3.00 x 10-6 -6 25 b 24 [OH ][N H ]K 3.00 x 10 = [N H ] − + = [OH-] = 7.775 x 10-4 pOH = 3.11 pH = 10.9 (d) [base] [salt]log pK pOH10b + = 14 – 10 = -lg (3.00 x 10-6) + 10 [salt]log (0.2) [salt] = 6.01 x 10-3 moldm-3 3 (a) (i) Number of protons : ……31……… Number of neutrons: ……37…….. (ii) –––––––– + + + + + + + + Source α Neutrons The deflection remains the same at 3o (b) (i) Gallium oxide has a giant ionic structure with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Whereas, gallium chloride has a simple molecular structure with weak van der waals forces of attraction between the molecules. Hence, less energy is required to break the weak van der
