Formic acid (ch2o2)  on reaction with water undergoes dissociation reaction.

Formic acid  is the acid released by ant when it bites which causes us irritation.

It's formula is CH2O2 or HCOOH. and pH is 3.75.

In the case of dehydration, one hydrogen atom in the water molecule joins the hydroxyl group in the trans formic acid to form a new water molecule, while the hydrogen bonded to carbon in the acid breaks off to regenerate a water molecule.

Formic acid dissociates in water according to the equation:

HCOOH (aq) + H2O (l) = H3O + (aq) + HCOO- (aq)

Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid, containing a single carbon. Occurs naturally in various sources including the venom of bee and ant stings, and is a useful organic synthetic reagent. Principally used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed.

Calculate how many atoms are in 98.6 g Carbon (C)?
Goryan [66]
Number of atoms are calculated using a number known as "Avogadro's number."
Okay, lets see a breakdown of this. Let's say that you are given an amount of grams of a substance. For this case, lets say that that substance is Carbon (C). And, lets assume that you are given 4.01 g of Carbon, and you are tasked to find the number of atoms in that mass of Carbon. The breakdown would be as follows, with dimensional anaysis:
4.01
g Carbon
(
1
mol Carbon
12.01
g Carbon
)

=
2.01

atms Carbon
Basically, I first wrote down the amount in grams, and I used the molar mass of Carbon (which can be found on the periodic table under Carbon) 12.01 g/mol to convert 4.01 g of Carbon to moles of Carbon. Then, I used "Avogadro's Number", or
6.022
⋅
10
23
atoms per mole
to convert the mole amount to atoms of Carbon.
The process should be very similar with other such atoms, just make sure to keep your periodic table and calculator handy.
I hope that helps!

If the temperature of a gas increased from 100 K to 200 K and the volume of a gas decreased from 20 L to 10 L, what is the new p
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

B. 400 kPa

Explanation:

the pressure increases, when the temperature increases. and it increases, when the volume decreases.

both cases happen here, each with the factor 2.

so, the pressure increases by the factor 2×2 = 4.

4×100 = 400 kPa
