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}.

Aspirin that has been stored for a long time may give a vinegar like odour and give a purple colour with FeCl3. What reaction wo
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The IUPAC name of aspirin is 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid. It is composed of an acetoxy moiety and a benzoic acid moiety.

The compound can be hydrolysed under prolonged storage conditions to yield acetic acid which causes the vinegar like odour.

Also, one of the products of this hydrolysis bears a phenol group which reacts with FeCl3 to give a purple color.

Water can be made using the reversible reaction shown. Which change would
Ghella [55]

Decreasing the temperature in the reaction vessel keep this reaction from shifting to form more of the product.

As we know that rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant.

If we increase the concentration of H2 then the rate of reaction increases. So, we keep it constant. Therefore this option is wrong.

By removing the H₂O from the reaction vessel as it almost make no change in the reaction. This can be pursuited the reaction in which product again converted into product.

By increasing the temperature we increases the rate of reaction and equilibrium shift in the forward direction.

Thus, we concluded that by decreasing the temperature in the reaction vessel keep this reaction from shifting to form more of the product.
