Answer:

156,4 g of sodium formate

Explanation:

The pka of the formic acid is 3,74. Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA] <em>(1)</em>

Where A⁻ is the conjugate base (Formate) and HA is the formic acid.

4.00L of 1.00M formic acid contain:

4.00L × (1.00mol /L) = 4.00 moles

Replacing these moles, the desired pH and the pka value in (1):

3,50 = 3,74  log₁₀ [A⁻] / 4,00 moles

-0,24 =  log₁₀ [A⁻] / 4,00 moles

0,575 = [A⁻] / 4,00 moles

<em>2,30 moles = [A⁻] </em>

That means you need 2,30 moles of formate (Sodium formate), to produce the desired buffer. As the molar mass of sodium formate is 68,01g/mol, the weight of sodium formate that must be added is:

2,30mol×(68,01g/mol) =<em> 156,4 g of sodium formate</em>.

I hope it helps!

Solve for y in the following problem: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y)
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The value of y = 5.1478

Explanation:

The linear equation is an equation obtained when a linear polynomial is equated to zero. When the solution obtained on solving the equation is substituted in the equation in place of the unknown, the equation gets satisfied.

The given equation: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y) = 0

⇒ 53 - 2y² = 0

⇒ 2y² = 53

⇒ y² = 53 ÷ 2 = 26.5

⇒ y = √26.5 = 5.1478
