Group names in the periodic table give clues about the metallic properties of the elements.
Metallic elements are found on the left side of the periodic table. A simple conception of metals describes them as a lattice of positive ions immersed in a sea of electrons.
0.843 moles would be the answer
The molarity of formic acid is 100 mM or 
. The dissociation reaction of formic acid is as follows:
The expression for dissociation constant of the reaction will be:
![K_{a}=\frac{[HCOO^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HCOOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Ba%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOOH%5D%7D)
Rearranging,
![[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{K_{a}[HCOOH]}{[H^{+}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D)
Here, pH of solution is 4.15 thus, concentration of hydrogen ion will be:
![[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.15}=7.08\times 10^{-5}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%3D10%5E%7B-pH%7D%3D10%5E%7B-4.15%7D%3D7.08%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DM)
Similarly, 
thus,
Putting the values,
![[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{(1.78\times 10^{-4}M)(100\times 10^{-3}M)}{(7.08\times 10^{-5}M}=0.2511 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281.78%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7DM%29%28100%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DM%29%7D%7B%287.08%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DM%7D%3D0.2511%20M)
Therefore, the concentration of formate will be 0.2511 M.
Yes, it will be worthwhile to investigate finding a catalyst to use in this reaction under standard conditions because it is negative.
<h3>What is a Catalyst?</h3>
This is a substance which speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
ΔG being negative indicates a a slow reaction which is why a catalyst under standard conditions should be used.
