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

Can anyone help me at this please anyone?

Answer:

121

Explanation:

Since the two lines are parallel, they will have the same angles, so all we need to do is find the angle that is next to 59°. Let's label this y °.

In other words, y °, the angle next to 59°, is equal to x°.

Since we are dealing with angles of a straight line, we know that the two angles of either line will add up to be 180°.

So, 59° + y ° = 180°

Isolate y by subtracting 59 from 180.

180 - 59 = 121

y ° = 121

So, x° = 121°

what happens to gas molecules as the pressure is increased while the temperature and volume of the container remain constant acc
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

According to the kinetic molecular theory of gases, the average speed and kinetic energy of gas molecules would INCREASE.

Explanation:

In the kinetic molecular theory of gases, assumptions were made based on macroscopic properties of gas (pressure, volume and temperature) which are as a result of the microscopic properties like the position and the speed of the gas molecules. The kinetic molecular theory explains the behaviour of gases through the following 5 assumptions made about an ideal gas;

--> Molecules of a gas are in constant and rapid motion in straight lines until they collide with one another and with the walls of their containers.

--> The actual volume occupied by the had is negligible compared with the volume of the container.

--> Forces of attraction or repulsion between the molecules of a gas are negligible

--> The collision between the molecules is perfectly elastic.

--> The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the temperature of the gas.

Because gas molecules are in constant motion, it has kinetic energy which can be altered when there is increase in pressure. An increase in pressure will cause gas molecules to collide more frequently with one another. This in turn leads to increase in average speed and the kinetic energy of the individual molecules.

Calculate the electronegativity difference of CH3OH
Maru [420]

You can't calculate the electronegativity difference of a single molecule you'll need a frame of reference to explain the electronegativity difference and properties arising due to the difference. Another term arise here is modified electronegativity that is calculated within the molecule between two atoms of different electronegativity and use to explain the nature of molecule wether they are electron withdrawing group or electron donating group and also used to compare the electronegativity with other molecule!
