Answer:
3.336.
Explanation:
<em>Herein, the no. of millimoles of the acid (HCOOH) is more than that of the base (NaOH).</em>
<em />
So, <em>concentration of excess acid = [(NV)acid - (NV)base]/V total</em> = [(30.0 mL)(0.1 M) - (29.3 mL)(0.1 M)]/(59.3 mL) = <em>1.18 x 10⁻³ M.</em>
<em></em>
<em> For weak acids; [H⁺] = √Ka.C</em> = √(1.8 x 10⁻⁴)(1.18 x 10⁻³ M) = <em>4.61 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>
∵ pH = - log[H⁺].
<em>∴ pH = - log(4.61 x 10⁻⁴) = 3.336.</em>
