A buffer solution contains an equivalent amount of acid and base. The pH of the solution with an acid dissociation constant (pKa) value of 3.75 is 3.82.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The amount of hydrogen or the proton ion in the solution is expressed by the pH. It is given by the sum of pKa and the log of the concentration of acid and bases.

Given,

Concentration of salt [HCOO⁻] = 0.24 M

Concentration of acid [HCOOH] = 0.20 M

The acid dissociation constant (pKa) = 3.75

pH is calculated from the Hendersons equation as,

pH = pKa + log [salt] ÷ [acid]

pH = 3.75 + log [0.24] ÷ [0.20]

= 3.75 + log (1.2)

= 3.75 + 0.079

= 3.82

Therefore, 3.82 is the pH of the buffer.

How do anion formation and valence electrons relate?
sveta [45]

Answer 1: Atoms gain valence electrons to form anions.

Explanation:

Anions are negatively charged species of an ions. Anions are formed when atoms with nearly complete octet gains electrons.

Answer 2: Emission spectrum

Explanation:

When ever electron jumps from higher energy to lower energy level energy is emitted out in the form of light.The wavelength of the light is given as \lambda:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} , E = energy, c= speed the light, h= planck constant

Answer 3: Two atoms of silicons could combine by fusion in order to create nickel.

Explanation:

Silicon has atomic number of 14 with atomic mass of 28 u.

nickel has atomic number of 28 with atomic mass of 59 u.

Two different isotopes of silicon atom will fuse together to give nickel.

^{29}Si_{14}+^{30}Si_{14}\rightarrow^{59}Ni_{28}
