pH of the buffer solution is 1.76.

Chemical dissociation of formic acid in the water:

HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The solution of formic acid and formate ions is a buffer.

[HCOO⁻] = 0.015 M; equilibrium concentration of formate ions

[HCOOH] + [HCOO⁻] = 1.45 M; sum of concentration of formic acid and formate

[HCOOH] = 1.45 M - 0.015 M

[HCOOH] = 1.435 M; equilibrium concentration of formic acid

pKa = -logKa

pKa = -log 1.8×10⁻⁴ M

pKa = 3.74

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 3.74 + log (0.015 M/1.435 M)

pH = 3.74 - 1.98

pH = 1.76

Redox 1/2 reaction Cu(s) + 2 AgC2H3O2(aq) = Cu(C2H3O2)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
Anna11 [10]

Explanation:

 Reaction:

              Cu  +     2AgC₂H₃O₂     →    Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂    +     2Ag

The problem is to split the reaction into oxidation and reduction halves:

 The oxidation half is the sub-reaction that undergoes oxidation

  The reduction half is the one that undergoes reduction:

The ionic equation:

 Cu   +  2Ag⁺   +   2C₂H₃O₂⁻   →   Cu²⁺  +  2C₂H₃O₂⁻   +  2Ag

Oxidation half:

     Cu →  Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

 

Reduction half:

    2Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ → 2Ag

C₂H₃O₂⁻ is neither oxidized nor reduced in the reaction.

Mass has to do with how many particles
Ganezh [65]

The law of definite proportions agrees with Dalton atomic theory.

What is Dalton atomic theory?

It state that all matters is made of very tiny particles called atom. atoms are individual particles which can not be created or be destroyed in a chemical reactions. Atoms of given elements are identical in mass and chemical properties. Atoms of

different elements have different masses and chemical properties.

The law of definite proportions also known as proust's law ,state that a chemical compound contain the same proportion of elements by mass.this law is one of the stoichiometry .

Thus ,

This is the reason why it is agrees with dalton atomic theory.
