    Nitrogen gas and oxygen gas make up about 99% of Earth’s atmosphere. Other atmospheric gases include argon, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, hydrogen, etc.

    The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can vary. Data for the concentration of CO2(g) from 1960 to 2000 are shown in the table below.

    Base your answers to questions 11 on the information below.

    The active ingredient in the pain reliever aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. This compound can be produced by reacting salicylic acid with acetic acid. The label of one aspirin bottle indicates that the accepted mass of acetylsalicylic acid in each tablet is 325 milligrams.

    In a laboratory, an aspirin tablet is crushed and mixed with water to dissolve all of the acetylsalicylic acid. The measured pH of the resulting solution is 3.0.

    Base your answers to questions 13 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Baking soda, NaHCO3, can be commercially produced during a series of chemical reactions called the Solvay process. In this process, NH3(aq), NaCl(aq), and other chemicals are used to produce NaHCO3(s) and NH4Cl(aq).

    To reduce production costs, NH3(aq) is recovered from NH4Cl(aq) through a different series of reactions. This series of reactions can be summarized by the overall reaction represented by the unbalanced equation below.

    NH4Cl(aq) + CaO(s) → NH3(aq) + H2O(ℓ) + CaCl2(aq)
