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:
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bsalt%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%29)
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[HCOONa]}{[HCOOH]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCOONa%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%29)
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of formic acid = 3.75
![[HCOONa]=\frac{0.230}{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCOONa%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.230%7D%7B1%7D)
![[HCOOH]=\frac{0.370}{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCOOH%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.370%7D%7B1%7D)
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of the solution is 3.546

what's the question?I can't answer without a question
Answer:
Explanation:
19) it is 3d10 instead of 4d10
20) it is missing 3p6, and 4s2 before 3d5
21) Ra is not a noble gas
22) Cs is not a noble gas
The potential energy of the reactants is 200J.
From the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350J; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.<span />
Answer:
Final concentration of C at the end of the interval of 3s if its initial concentration was 3.0 M, is 3.06 M and if the initial concentration was 3.960 M, the concentration at the end of the interval is 4.02 M
Explanation:
4A + 3B ------> C + 2D
In the 3s interval, the rate of change of the reactant A is given as -0.08 M/s
The amount of A that has reacted at the end of 3 seconds will be
0.08 × 3 = 0.24 M
Assuming the volume of reacting vessel is constant, we can use number of moles and concentration in mol/L interchangeably in the stoichiometric balance.
From the chemical reaction,
4 moles of A gives 1 mole of C
0.24 M of reacted A will form (0.24 × 1)/4 M of C
Amount of C formed at the end of the 3s interval = 0.06 M
If the initial concentration of C was 3 M, the new concentration of C would be (3 + 0.06) = 3.06 M.
If the initial concentration of C was 3.96 M, the new concentration of C would be (3.96 + 0.06) = 4.02 M
