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.

Answer:

Answers with detail are given below

Explanation:

1) Given data:

Mass of Rb₃Rn = 76.19 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass = 478.43 g/mol

Number of moles = 76.19 g/ 478.43 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.16 mol

2) Given data:

Mass of FrBi₂ = 120.02 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass = 640.96 g/mol

Number of moles = 120.02 g/640.96 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.19 mol

3) Given data:

Mass of Zn₂F₃ = 88.24 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass = 187.73 g/mol

Number of moles = 88.24 g/ 187.73 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.47 mol

4) Given data:

Number of moles of Sb₄Cl = 1.20 mol

Mass of Sb₄Cl = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass = 522.49 g/mol

Mass = Number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.20 mol ×  522.49 g/mol

Mass = 626.99 g
