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

Two molecules of one reactant combine with 3 molecules of another to produce 5 molecules of a product.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A = 2A + 3B → 5C

Explanation:

The two molecule of A and three molecules of B will react to form the five molecules of C.

2A + 3B   →   5C

Other options are incorrect because,

B = A₂ + B₃  →   C₅

in this reaction one molecule of A₂ and one molecule of B₃ combine to form one molecule of C₅.

C = 2A + 5B   →  3C

in this reaction two molecules of A and five molecules of B combine to form three molecule of C.

D = A₂ + B₃  →  C₃

in this reaction one molecule of  A₂ and one molecule of B₃ combine to from one molecule of C₃.

2) Will all atoms behave exactly the same when the temperature is changed? ​
Butoxors [25]

no...the atoms will not behave the same

as when temperature is increased, the atoms vibration and kinetic energy will also be increased....they come in excited state...

where as when temperature is reduced ,atoms kinetic energy slows down....
