Among formic acid (HCOOH ) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), formic acid is the weak acid. Acidic strength of any acid is the tendency of that acid to loose proton. Among these two acids formic acid has a pKa value of 3.74 greater than that of sulfuric acid i.e. -10. Remember! Greater the pKa value of acid weaker is that acid and vice versa. Below I have drawn the Ionization of both acids to corresponding conjugate bases and protons. The structures below with charges are drawn in order to explain the reason for strength. As it is seen in charged structure of formic acid, there is one positive charge on carbon next to oxygen carrying proton. The electron density is shifted toward carbon as it is electron deficient and demands more electron hence, attracting electron density from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond more polar. While, in case of sulfuric acid it is depicted that Sulfur attached to oxygen containing proton has 2+ charge, means more electron deficient as compared to carbon of formic acid, hence, more electron demanding and strongly attracting electrons from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond very polar and highly ionizable.

The density of a certain type of plastic is 0.81 g/cm3. If a sheet of this plastic is 10.0 m long, 1.0 m wide, and 1 cm thick, w
crimeas [40]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of plastic sheet is 8.1\times 10^4g

<u>Explanation:</u>

The plastic sheet is in the form of cuboid. To calculate the volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

V=lbh

where,

V = volume of cuboid

l = length of cuboid = 10.0 m = 1000 cm     (Conversion factor: 1 m = 100 cm)

b = breadth of cuboid = 1.0 m = 100 cm

h = height of cuboid = 1 cm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V=1000\times 100\times 1=10^5cm^3

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

We are given:

Density of plastic sheet = 0.81g/cm^3

Volume of plastic sheet = 10^5cm^3

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.81g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of plastic sheet}}{10^5cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of plastic sheet}=8.1\times 10^4g

Hence, the mass of plastic sheet is 8.1\times 10^4g
