The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.370 mol of formic acid (HCO₂H) and 0.230 mol of sodium formate (NaCO₂H) in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L of solution. The Ka of formic acid is 1.77 × 10⁻⁴

a) 2.099

b) 10.463

c) 3.546

d) 2.307

e) 3.952

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 3.546

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of formic acid = 0.370 moles

Moles of sodium formate = 0.230 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:  

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[HCOONa]}{[HCOOH]})

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of formic acid = 3.75

[HCOONa]=\frac{0.230}{1}  

[HCOOH]=\frac{0.370}{1}

pH = ?  

Putting values in above equation, we get:  

pH=3.75+\log(\frac{0.23/1}{0.37/1})\\\\pH=3.54

Hence, the pH of the solution is 3.546

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.20 V:
ANEK [815]

Answer:

emf generated by cell is 2.32 V

Explanation:

Oxidation: 2Al-6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}

Reduction: 3I_{2}+6e^{-}\rightarrow 6I^{-}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall: 2Al+3I_{2}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}+6I^{-}

Nernst equation for this cell reaction at 25^{0}\textrm{C}-

E_{cell}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.059}{n}log{[Al^{3+}]^{2}[I^{-}]^{6}}

where n is number of electrons exchanged during cell reaction, E_{cell}^{0} is standard cell emf , E_{cell} is cell emf , [Al^{3+}] is concentration of Al^{3+} and [Cl^{-}] is concentration of Cl^{-}

Plug in all the given values in the above equation -

E_{cell}=2.20-\frac{0.059}{6}log[(4.5\times 10^{-3})^{2}\times (0.15)^{6}]V

So, E_{cell}=2.32V
