Papaverine hydrochloride (abbreviated molar mass _ 378.85 g/mol) is a drug that belongs to a group of medicines called vasodilators, which cause blood vessels to expand, thereby increasing blood flow. This drug is the conjugate acid of the weak base papaverine (abbreviated pap; Calculate the pH of a 30.0 mg/mL aqueous dose of prepared at Kwat is

Captain Kirk, of the Starship Enterprise, has been told by his superiors that only a chemist can be trusted with the combination to the safe containing the dilithium crystals that power the ship. The combination is the pH of solution A, described below, followed by the pH of solution C. (Example: If the pH of solution A is 3.47 and that of solution C is 8.15, then the combination to the safe is 3-47-8-15.) The chemist must determine the combination using only the information below (all solutions are at ): Solution A is 50.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of the weak monoprotic acid HX. Solution B is a 0.0500 M solution of the salt NaX. It has a pH of 10.02. Solution C is made by adding 15.0 mL of 0.250 M KOH to solution A. What is the combination to the safe?
