The optimum pH of formic acid - formate buffer is 3.75
<h3>What is pH? </h3>
- pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
- pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.
What is Buffer ?
A substance or a solution which resists any changes in pH, when acid or alkali is added to it.
pH = pKa + log[base] / [acid]
Considering equimolar concentration of acid and base
pH = 3.75 + log(x)/(x)
pH = 3.75 + log (1)
pH = 3.75 + 0
pH = 3.75
Hence,
The optimum pH of formic acid - formate buffer is 3.75

“Students studied the weather front that caused the recent hurricane”
Answer:
It represents the <em>number of atoms</em> of that particular element present in the compound. In C₂H₄O₂ there are 2 Carbon atoms, 4 Hydrogen atoms and 2 Oxygen atoms.
a) before addition of any KOH :
when we use the Ka equation & Ka = 4 x 10^-8 :
Ka = [H+]^2 / [ HCIO]
by substitution:
4 x 10^-8 = [H+]^2 / 0.21
[H+]^2 = (4 x 10^-8) * 0.21
= 8.4 x 10^-9
[H+] = √(8.4 x 10^-9)
= 9.2 x 10^-5 M
when PH = -㏒[H+]
PH = -㏒(9.2 x 10^-5)
= 4
b)After addition of 25 mL of KOH: this produces a buffer solution
So, we will use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get PH:
PH = Pka +㏒[Salt]/[acid]
first, we have to get moles of HCIO= molarity * volume
=0.21M * 0.05L
= 0.0105 moles
then, moles of KOH = molarity * volume
= 0.21 * 0.025
=0.00525 moles
∴moles HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.00525 = 0.00525
and when the total volume is = 0.05 L + 0.025 L = 0.075 L
So the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume
= 0.00525 / 0.075
=0.07 M
and molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume
= 0.00525 / 0.075
= 0.07 M
and when Ka = 4 x 10^-8
∴Pka =-㏒Ka
= -㏒(4 x 10^-8)
= 7.4
by substitution in H-H equation:
PH = 7.4 + ㏒(0.07/0.07)
∴PH = 7.4
c) after addition of 35 mL of KOH:
we will use the H-H equation again as we have a buffer solution:
PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]
first, we have to get moles HCIO = molarity * volume
= 0.21 M * 0.05L
= 0.0105 moles
then moles KOH = molarity * volume
= 0.22 M* 0.035 L
=0.0077 moles
∴ moles of HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.0077= 8 x 10^-5
when the total volume = 0.05L + 0.035L = 0.085 L
∴ the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume
= 8 x 10^-5 / 0.085
= 9.4 x 10^-4 M
and the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume
= 0.0077M / 0.085L
= 0.09 M
by substitution:
PH = 7.4 + ㏒( 0.09 /9.4 x 10^-4)
∴PH = 8.38
D)After addition of 50 mL:
from the above solutions, we can see that 0.0105 mol HCIO reacting with 0.0105 mol KOH to produce 0.0105 mol KCIO which dissolve in 0.1 L (0.5L+0.5L) of the solution.
the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume
= 0.0105mol / 0.1 L
= 0.105 M
when Ka = KW / Kb
∴Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 4 x 10^-8
= 2.5 x 10^-7
by using Kb expression:
Kb = [CIO-] [OH-] / [KCIO]
when [CIO-] =[OH-] so we can substitute by [OH-] instead of [CIO-]
Kb = [OH-]^2 / [KCIO]
2.5 x 10^-7 = [OH-]^2 /0.105
∴[OH-] = 0.00016 M
POH = -㏒[OH-]
∴POH = -㏒0.00016
= 3.8
∴PH = 14- POH
=14 - 3.8
PH = 10.2
e) after addition 60 mL of KOH:
when KOH neutralized all the HCIO so, to get the molarity of KOH solution
M1*V1= M2*V2
when M1 is the molarity of KOH solution
V1 is the total volume = 0.05 + 0.06 = 0.11 L
M2 = 0.21 M
V2 is the excess volume added of KOH = 0.01L
so by substitution:
M1 * 0.11L = 0.21*0.01L
∴M1 =0.02 M
∴[KOH] = [OH-] = 0.02 M
∴POH = -㏒[OH-]
= -㏒0.02
= 1.7
∴PH = 14- POH
= 14- 1.7
= 12.3
Answer:
Magnesium
Explanation:
Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column of the periodic table: all group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure.
