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

How is the concept of “heat” related to the law of conservation of energy?
musickatia [10]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. ... is the heat added to, or removed from, the system.

Which answer choice best describes the difference between folded mountains and fault-block mountains?
melamori03 [73]

The answer is; C

In folding, when segments of Earth's crust are bent and doubled over, the sediments in between are form folds, since they are forced into a smaller space.  This also occurs in converging plates boundaries.

Block Mountains occur when stress due to compression in the crust causes the hanging wall between a fault to move up relative to the footwall.

4. A sample of gas has a pressure of 700 mmHg and 30.0°C. Ar what temperature would the pressure be 600 mmHg if the volume remai
shtirl [24]

Answer:

T₂  = 259.84 K

T₂  = -13.31 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 700 mmHg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C (30+273.15 K = 303.15 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final pressure = 600 mmHg

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

700 mmHg /303.15 K  = 600 mmHg / T₂

T₂  = 600 mmHg × 303.15 K / 700 mmHg

T₂  =181890 mmHg.K /700 mmHg

T₂  = 259.84 K

Temperature in celsius

259.84 K - 273.15 = -13.31 °C

What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
xenn [34]
<span>To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g</span>
