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

1 answer:

7 0

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>

Answer:Ionic compounds form when positive and negative ions share electrons and form an ionic bond. ... The positive ion, called a cation, is listed first in an ionic compound formula, followed by the negative ion, called an anion. A balanced formula has a neutral electrical charge or net charge of zero.

Explanation:Simple ions:

Perchlorate ClO4- IO3-

Chlorate ClO3- BrO3-

Convert 32.56 km/hr into ft/hr

Gekata [30.6K]

Note that
1 m = 3.2808 ft

Therefore
1 km = 3280.8 ft
and
$32.56 \, \frac{km}{h} = (32.56 \, \frac{km}{h})*(3280.8 \, \frac{ft}{km}) = 1.0682 \, \times 10^{5} \, \frac{ft}{h}$

Answer: 1.0682 x 10⁵ ft/hr

If 35.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder is displaced by 8.00 mL

sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}\\$

From the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 35 - 8 = 27 mL

We have

$density = \frac{14}{27} \\ = 0.518518...$

We have the final answer as

If an atom contains more electrons than protons, it is a action, an anion, or electrically neutral

barxatty [35]

Electrons hold a negative charge, and anion refers to a negatively charged atom.

The answer is anion. Here's a way to help remember:

Cats have paws, and cations are "paws"itive (positive).
