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

Which compound contains a radical
slamgirl [31]

The compound that contains a radical is called NaOH.

Explanation:

Radical, also called Free Radical, in chemistry, a fragment that contains at trivial one unpaired electron. Most molecules include even numbers of electrons, and the covalent chemical bonds including the atoms commonly within a molecule normally consist of pairs of electrons jointly shared by the atoms combined by the bond.

Which of these expressions are correct variations of the Combined Gas Law?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The combined gas law is also known as the general gas law.

From the ideal gas law we assume that n = 1;

So;

              PV  = nRT

 and then;

                  \frac{P_{1}V_{1}  }{T_{1} }  = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}  }{T_{2} }

   If we cross multiply;

                P₁V₁T₂   = P₂V₂T₁

  So;

         T₁ = T_{2} \frac{P_{1}V_{1}  }{P_{2} V_{2} }

Also;

         V₂  = V_{1} \frac{P_{1} T_{2} }{P_{2} T_{1} }

So from the choices both are correct
