Determine the [h3o+] of a 0.210 m solution of formic acid.

Chemistry

Nataly [62]3 years ago

When the Pka for formic acid = 3.77
and Pka = -㏒ Ka 
   3.77 = -㏒ Ka
∴Ka = 1.7x10^-4 

when Ka = [H+][HCOO-}/[HCOOH]

when we have Ka = 1.7x10^-4 &[HCOOH] = 0.21 m
so by substitution: by using ICE table value
1.7x10^-4 = X*X / (0.21-X)
(1.7x10^-4)*(0.21-X) = X^2      by solving this equation for X

∴X = 0.0059
∴[H+] = 0.0059
∴PH= -㏒ [H+]
       = -㏒ 0.0059
       = 2.23

The ionization of pure water forms _____.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: The ionization of pure water forms <u><em>hydroxide and hydronium ions.</em></u>

Explanation:

Ionization is a reaction in the pure water in which water breaks down into its constituting ions that hydronium ion and hydroxide ions.

H_2O+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++OH^-

One molecule of water looses its proton to form hydroxide ion and l=the lost protons get associated with another water molecule to form hydronium ion.

How many atoms are in 163 g of calcium?
I am Lyosha [343]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

163 g Ca (1 mol / 40.08 g) ( </span>6.022 x 10^23 atoms / 1 mol ) = 2.45 x10^24 atoms Ca
