Answer:

Ka = 1.82x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need a basis. In this case, we need the overall reaction and a ICE chart. So, let's write the overall reaction first:

HCOOH + H₂O <--------> H₃O⁺ + HCOO⁻    Ka = ?

Now that we have the overall reaction, we need to write the ICE chart. In this way we can determine what data do we have, and what do we have left to determine:

      HCOOH + H₂O <--------> H₃O⁺ + HCOO⁻    Ka = ?

i)        0.02                                0             0

e)       0.02-x                             x              x

The Ka expression is:

Ka = [H₃O⁺] [HCOO⁻] / [HCOOH]

Replacing the given data we have:

Ka = x² / 0.02 - x

Now, the value of x can be calculated because we already have the pH of the formic acid, and with it, we can calculate the [H₃O⁺] with the following expression:

[H₃O⁺] = 10^(-pH)

Replacing we have:

[H₃O⁺] = 10^(-2.74) = 1.82x10⁻³ M

This is the value of x, so replacing in the Ka expression, we can calculate then, the value of Ka:

Ka = (1.82x10⁻³)² / (0.02 - 1.82x10⁻³)

<h2>Ka = 1.82x10⁻⁴</h2>

A solution of sodium hydroxide was titrated against a solution of sulfuric acid. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

2 mole of Sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of Sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Write down the equation in the beginning with reactants and products:

NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Now try to balance it. Try with Na first:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Na atoms are balanced. There are 6 Oxygen atoms on the right and 5 on the left. Balance by increasing the H₂O moles:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

Check if H atoms are also balanced. They are. That means our final reaction is:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

2 Moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
