Hello!

The chemical reaction for the dissociation of Formic Acid is the following:

HCOOH + H₂O ⇄ HCOO⁻ + H₃O⁺

From this reaction we can use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to find the pH, but first we need to find the value for the pKa:

pKa=-log(Ka)=3,75

pH=pKa + log([HCOO⁻]/[HCOOH])

pH=3,75 + log (0,295/0,205)

pH= 3,90

Have a nice day!

Properties of substances can be classified as physical or chemical properties. Which statements describe chemical properties? (C
Tamiku [17]

The correct answers are options C, that is, silver tarnishes and becomes black when exposed to oxygen, and option E, that is, diesel fuel burns when it is heated.  

Chemical changes refer to the modifications in which the chemistry at molecular level is modified as the initial substance gets transformed into a new and different final substance. This change occurs with the dissociation of old bond and production of new bonds respectively.  

Silver gets tarnished and becomes black when exposed to oxygen. This refers to a chemical change as silver a white and lustrous substance gets transformed into a tarnish black final substance. However, silver does not easily react with oxygen at usual circumstances. It easily reacts with sulfur comprising components in the air and generates black compound as Ag₂S.  

Burning of diesel fuel when it is heated. Diesel refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons varying approximately from C₁₀H₂₀ to C₁₅H₂₈. When these hydrocarbons get burnt they generate novel substances, that is, carbon dioxide and water. Hence, it is also a chemical reaction.

Calculate the energy required to ionize a hydrogen atom to an excited state where the electron is initially in the n = 5 energy
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

. The energy of shells in a hydrogen atom is calculated by the formula E = -Eo/n^2 where n is any integer, and Eo = 2.179X10^-18 J. So, the energy of a ground state electron in hydrogen is:

E = -2.179X10^-18 J / 1^2 = -2.179X10^-21 kJ

Consequently, to ionize this electron would require the input of 2.179X10^-21 kJ


2. The wavelength of a photon with this energy would be:

Energy = hc/wavelength

wavelength = hc/energy

wavelength = 6.626X10^-34 Js (2.998X10^8 m/s) / 2.179X10^-18 J = 9.116X10^-8 m

Converting to nanometers gives: 91.16 nm


3. Repeat the calculation in 1, but using n=5.


4. Repeat the calculation in 2 using the energy calculated in 3.

What substance is oxidized in the following reaction? 4HCl + MnO2 → Cl2 + 2H2O + MnCl2
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Cl⁻ was oxidized.

Explanation:

  • 4HCl + MnO₂ → Cl₂ + 2H₂O + MnCl₂

Oxidation can be defined as the process in which the oxidation number of a substance increases.

On the left side of the equation, Cl has a charge of -1 (in HCl); while on the right side of the equation Cl has a charge of 0 in Cl₂.

Thus, Cl⁻ was oxidized.
