We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
Answer:
Assume that 100 grams of C2H4 is present. This means that there are 85.7 grams of carbon and 14.3 grams of hydrogen.
Convert these weights to moles of each element:
85.7 grams carbon/12 grams per mole = 7 moles of carbon.
14.3 grams hydrogen/1 gram per mole = 14 moles of hydrogen.
Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain one mole of carbon and two moles of hydrogen.
Since we know that there cannot be a stable CH2 molecule, multiply by two and you have C2H4 which is ethylene - a known molecule.
The secret is to convert the percentages to moles and find the ration of the constituents.
Yes, you can!
Hope this helped, and brainliest much needed and appreciated! Have a wonderful day!:)
Answer:
Newton believed that gravity was a force.
The law of universal gravitation offers a mathematical explanation for the attraction between the moon and Earth.
Newton was the first to have the idea that gravity is everywhere.
Answer:
all of these are properties of metalloids
