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

Which instrument below is used to measure an intensive property?
Andrei [34K]

An intensive property is the physical characteristics that have an independent magnitude. The thermometer can be used to measure the temperature. Thus, option C is correct.

<h3>What is an intensive property?</h3>

An intensive property has been constituted of the parameters that are not dependent on the size and the mass of the sample. Density, pressure, and temperature are some intensive properties.

The first image shows a weighing balance, the second shows a volumetric cylinder, and the fourth shows a ruler used to measure mass, volume, and length respectively, which are extensive properties.

Therefore, option C. thermometer measures temperature, which is an intensive property.

A piece of PVC plumbing pipe displaces 60 mL when placed into a container of water. If the pipe has a mass of 78g, what is the d
babymother [125]
Use the equation d=m/v

your mass or "m" is 78 g

your volume or "v" is 60mL

if you plug those values into the equation it will look like this:

d=78/60
d=1.3g/mL should be what you come up with

Classify methanal according to the position of the c=o group
seraphim [82]

Answer :  Methanal also known as Formaldehyde CH_{2}O is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.

Explanation :

In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).

     If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.

Here are some functional groups naming according to the<em> IUPAC</em> rules and image also attached,

Carboxylic acid   →    (RCOOH)    →    ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )

Aldehyde             →    (RCOH)       →    ( name end in 'AL' )

Ketone                 →    (RCOR')       →    ( name end in 'ONE' )

Ester                     →    (RCOOR')    →    ( name end in 'ATE' )

Amide                   →    (RCONR'R") →    ( name end in 'AMIDE' )

In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.

Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.
