The dissociation of formic acid is:

HCOOH \rightleftharpoons HCOO^{-} + H^{+}

The acid dissociation constant of formic acid, k_a is:

k_a = \frac{[HCOO^{-}]  [H^{+}]}{HCOOH}

Rearranging the equation:

\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}

pH = 2.75

pH = -log[H^{+}]

[H^{+}]= 10^{-2.75} = 1.78 \times 10^{-3}

pk_a = 3.75

k_a = 10^{-3.75} = 1.78\times 10^{-4}

Substituting the values in the equation:

\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}

\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{1.78\times 10^{-4}}{1.78\times 10^{-3}}

Hence, the ratio is \frac{1}{10}.

State and explain the observations when chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution of
natta225 [31]

Answer:

A reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction will occur.

Chlorine gas (Cl2) will accept electrons to form Cl- ions.

The Iron(II) ions (Fe2+) will lose electrons to form Fe3+ ions. (Iron (III) ions)

Fe2+ ions are green, while Fe3+ ions are yellow,

so the observation will be the solution turning from green to yellow.

3/7 of a sum is Rs.1800. Find the sum​
STatiana [176]

Answer:

the sum is Rs 4,200

Explanation:

Given that

3 by 7 of the sum is $1,800

We need to find out the sum

So,

Here we assume the sum be x

So the following equation should be made

3 ÷ 7 × x = 1800

3x = 1800 × 7

x = (1800 × 7) ÷ 3

= Rs 4,200

Hence, the sum is Rs 4,200

The same would be considered and relevant

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 500.
patriot [66]

Explanation:

Chemical reaction equation for the give decomposition of NH_{3} is as follows:.

          2NH_{3}(g) \rightleftharpoons N_{2}(g) + 3H_{2}(g)

And, initially only NH_{3} is present.

The given data is as follows.

  P_{NH_{3}} = 2.3 atm at equilibrium

   P_{H_{2}} = 3 \times P_{N_{2}} = 0.69 atm

Therefore,

          P_{N_{2}} = \frac{0.69 atm}{3}

                        = 0.23 aatm

So, P_{NH_{3}} = 2.3 - 2(0.23)

                       = 1.84 atm

Now, expression for K_{p} will be as follows.

         K_{p} = \frac{(P_{N_{2}})(P^{3}_{H_{2}})}{(P^{2}_{NH_{3}})}

           K_{p} = \frac{(0.23) \times (0.69)^{3}}{(1.84)^{2}}

                      = \frac{0.23 \times 0.33}{3.39}

                     = 0.0224

or,           K_{p} = 2.2 \times 10^{-2}

Thus, we can conclude that  the pressure equilibrium constant for the decomposition of ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture is 2.2 \times 10^{-2}.
