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.

What are the characteristics of a proton
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

A Balanced Atom

Most nuclei also contain neutrons. Perhaps the most essential characteristic of a proton is its positive electrical charge. This charge is equal in magnitude to the negative electrical charge of the electron, which means that the charge of one proton balances out the charge of one electron.

One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that i
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The value is U  =1.3908 *10^{11} \  kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

mass of carbon dioxide produced by one gallon of gasoline is m  =  9.50 \  kg

The number of cars is N =  40 \  million =  40 *10^{6} \  cars

The distance covered by each car is d =  7930 \ mi

The rate is R  =  23.6 \  mi/ gallon

Generally the amount of gasoline used by one car is mathematically represented as

G  =  \frac{d}{R}

=> G  =  \frac{7930}{23.6}

=> G  =   366 \  gallons

Generally the amount of gasoline used by N cars is

H  =  N  *  G

=> H  =  40*10^{6}  *  366

=> H  = 1.464*10^{10} \  gallons

Generally the annual production of carbon dioxide is mathematically represented as

U  =  m *  H

=> U  =9.50 *   1.464*10^{10}

=> U  =1.3908 *10^{11} \  kg

If the condition change such that there are 4 mil at 4 atm and at 270 K, what is the new volume?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Increases in temperature tend to decrease density since volume will generally increase. There are exceptions however, such as water's density increasing between 0°C and 4°C. Below is a table of units in which density is commonly expressed, as well as the densities of some common materials.
