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!

All of the following can be used to define an acid except
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: a substance that increases the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution

Explanation: According to Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance which donates hydronium ions  [H^+] ions when dissolved in water and base is a substance which donates hydroxide ions [OH^-] ions in water.

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base pair, an acid is a substance that donates protons and a base is a substance that accepts protons.

According to Lewis concept, an acid is the substance which accepts electron pairs and abase is a substance which donates electron pairs.

Thus a substance that increases the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is an Arrhenius base.

The reaction of Fe3O4(s) with hydrogen(g) to form iron(s) and water(g) proceeds as follows: Fe3O4(s) + 4 H2(g) 3 Fe(s) + 4 H2O(g
Reptile [31]

Answer:  151 kJ

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}  

\text{Moles of} Fe_3O_4=\frac{61.8g}{231.5g/mol}=0.267moles

Fe_3O_4(s)+4H_2(g)\rightarrow 3Fe(s)+4H_2O(g)

It is given that:

0.267 moles of Fe_3O_4 absorb energy = 40.3 kJ

Thus 1 mole of Fe_3O_4 absorb energy =\frac{40.3}{0.267}\times 1=151kJ  

Thus the value of \Delta H for the chemical equation given is 151 kJ
