What is the equilibrium equation for the dissociation of formic acid in water? hcooh (aq) + h2o (l) ⇌ h3o+ (aq) + hcoo- (aq)?

Formic acid when in water would dissociate into ions just like any acids. It would dissociate into the hydrogen ion and the formate ion. The equilibrium dissociation equation would be written as:

<span>HCOOH (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H+ (aq) + HCOO- (aq)

Formic acid is a weak acid which means that when in aqueous solution it does not completely dissociate into its corresponding ions. Only a certain amount that would be dissociated so in the solution there will be HCOOH, HCOO- and H+ molecules. It is also known as Methanoic acid and an important substance for the synthesis of a number of substances. It is naturally occurring in ants.</span>

2. Sitting on a bench top are several samples: lithium metal (d = 0.53 g/mL), gold (d = 19.3 g/mL), aluminum (d = 2.70 g/mL), an

Answer:

The sample of lithium occupies the largest volume.

Explanation:

Given the densities for the four elements, we have the expression $d=\frac{m}{V}$ that shows the relationship between mass and Volume to express the density of an element.

For each element we have:

$d_{lithium}=\frac{m_{lithium}}{V_{lithium}}=0.53g/mL$

$d_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{V_{gold}}=19.3g/mL$

$d_{aluminum}=\frac{m_{aluminum}}{V_{aluminum}}=2.70g/mL$

$d_{lead}=\frac{m_{lead}}{V_{lead}}=11.3g/mL$

The problem says that all the samples have the same mass, so:

$m_{lithium}=m_{gold}=m_{aluminum}=m_{lead}=m$

it means that m is a constant

Now, solving for the Volume in each element and with m as a constant, we have:

$V_{lithium}=\frac{m}{d_{lithium}}$

$V_{lithium}=\frac{1}{0.53\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{lithium}=1.88\frac{mL}{g}*m$

$V_{gold}=\frac{m}{d_{gold}}$

$V_{gold}=\frac{1}{19.3\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{gold}=5.18*10^{-2}\frac{mL}{g}*m$

$V_{aluminum}=\frac{m}{d_{aluminum}}$

$V_{aluminum}=\frac{1}{2.70\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{aluminum}=3.70*10^{-1}\frac{mL}{g}*m$

$V_{lead}=\frac{m}{d_{lead}}$

$V_{lead}=\frac{1}{11.3\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{lead}=8.85*10^{-2}\frac{mL}{g}*m$

If we assume m = 1g, we find that:

$V_{lithium}=1.88mL$

$V_{gold}=5.18*10^{-2}mL$

$V_{aluminum}=3.70*10^{-1}mL$

$V_{lead}=8.85*10^{-2}mL$

So we can see that the sample of lithium occupies the largest volume with 1.88mL

Note that m only can take positive values, so if you change the value of m, always will be the lithium which occupies the largest volume.

For the reaction 2H 2 +O 2 2H 2 O calculate the percent yield if 860. of water is produced when 100. g of hydrogen react with an

-BARSIC- [3]

The percent yield : 95%

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

Reaction

2H₂+O₂ ⇒2H₂O

Required

The percent yield

Solution

mol of Hydrogen(as a limiting reactant) :

$\tt \dfrac{100}{2}=50$

mol H₂O based on H₂ , and from equation mol ratio H₂:H₂O=2 : 2, so mol H₂O = 50

Mass of water(theoretical yield) :

$\tt mass=50\times 18=900~g$

$\tt \%yield=\dfrac{860}{900}\times 100\%=95\%$
