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.

Rudik [331]

Answer: Boyle's Law

Explanation:

Boyle's Law which is also called Mariotte's law was formulated by physicist Robert Boyle in 1662.

It posits that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature.

As the Scuba Diver went deeper, the volume of air dropped so the pressure increased.

In the following equation:
Luda [366]

Answer:

FeCl₃

Explanation:

                 4FeCl₃  +   3O₂     => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂

Given =>  7moles     9moles

A simple way to determine which reagent is the limiting reactant is to convert all given data to moles then divide by the respective coefficients of the balanced equation. The smaller value will be the limiting reactant.

                 4FeCl₃     +   3O₂     => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂

Given =>  7/4 = 1.75*     9/3 = 3

*Smaller value => FeCl₃ is limiting reactant.  

NOTE: However, when working problems, one must use original mole values given.
