As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

How much volume would a 834.01g pile of sugar have given that it has a density of 1.59g/mL?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

v = 534.5mL

m = 597.15g

Density = 9.23g/mL

Density = 9.125g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

For the first question

Density = 1.59g/mL

Mass = 834.01g

Volume = ?

Using the above formula we have 1.59 = 834.01/v

v = 834.01/1.59

v = 534.5mL

For the second question

Density =0.9167g/mL

Volume = 651.41mL

Mass =?

Using the above formula we have

0.9167 =m/651.41

Cross multiply

m = 0.9167 x 651.41

m = 597.15g

For the third question

Mass =803.44g

Volume=87.03mL

Density =?

Density = 803.44/87.03

= 9.23g/mL

For the fourth

Density = 56.85/6.23

= 9.125g/mL

Determine the [h3o+] of a 0.210 m solution of formic acid.
Nataly [62]
When the Pka for formic acid = 3.77
and Pka = -㏒ Ka 
   3.77 = -㏒ Ka
∴Ka = 1.7x10^-4 

when Ka = [H+][HCOO-}/[HCOOH]

when we have Ka = 1.7x10^-4 &[HCOOH] = 0.21 m
so by substitution: by using ICE table value
1.7x10^-4 = X*X / (0.21-X)
(1.7x10^-4)*(0.21-X) = X^2      by solving this equation for X

∴X = 0.0059
∴[H+] = 0.0059
∴PH= -㏒ [H+]
       = -㏒ 0.0059
       = 2.23
