<h3>Answer:</h3>
Formic acid is the stronger acid.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The strength of an acid is determined by the power of it to dissociate and produce H⁺ ions. Greater the dissociation of an acid, the stronger that acid is. Also, extent of dissociation for particular acid is given by its dissociation constant i.e. Ka.
The greater the Ka value, the stronger an acid is and vice versa.
Calculating Ka value of Pivalic acid:
As,
pKa = -log [Ka]
So,
Ka = 10^-pKa
Putting value of pKa,
Ka = 10⁻⁵
Ka = 1.0 × 10⁻⁵
Calculating Ka value of Formic acid:
As,
pKa = -log [Ka]
So,
Ka = 10^-pKa
Putting value of pKa,
Ka = 10⁻³'⁸
Ka = 1.58 × 10⁻⁴
<h3>Conclusion:</h3>
As the Ka value of Formic acid is greater than Pivalic acid therefore, it is stronger acid than Pivalic acid.
<h2>TIP:</h2>
When comparing strength of acids, the acid with the lowest pKa value is considered the strongest acid and <em>vice versa</em>.
I am going to assume that the reaction occurs in water since that is the easiest procedure (let me know if I am not supposed to make this assumption).
1) get 2 beakers, the chemicals for the reaction, DI water, and the catalyst.
2) equal volumes and amounts of the water was placed into the 2 beakers.
3) some of the catalyst was added to beaker the second beaker.
3) equal amounts of the chemicals for the reaction was placed into the 2 beakers.
4) the two reactions were compared to see how the un-catalyzed reaction in beaker 1 was effected by the introduction of a catalyst in beaker 2.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything was unclear.
Moving in a direction is called having a "velocity". A velocity is just having a speed, but only in one direction. Because of a thing called "Newton's First Law", in order to change the speed or direction of an object, it must be accelerated, which is a fancy way of saying it's velocity must change with respect to time, meaning that for every second it travels while be accelerated, its velocity will change by this much, either in speed or direction or both. Due to "Newton's Second Law", and acceleration is gained by applying a force. Using the equation "F = ma" where F is force applied, m is mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. This means that it is harder to move things with more mass.
Specifically relating to change in direction, force is also a thing which has a direction. A force can be any size, and also have any direction. When a force is applied in a certain direction, the acceleration of the object will be in the same direction of the force.

Things can only go downhill from here
B i think hope this helps! I had this on a test not to long ago and did b and it worked!
