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!

Where are fusion reactions found
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom. Although nuclear fusion reactions require a lot of energy to get started, once they are going they produce enormous amounts of energy.

It is called Mass.

Among the physical characteristics of a matter which includes Weight, Mass, Volume, and Density the only characteristic that does not change is the mass. The mass of an object never change from place to place. All the objects have a mass and that is why there is a weight but it changes depends on the gravity. Mass don't.
