We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
The way to working out the numbers is to increase the measure of HNO3 required by the molarity to discover what number of moles you require: 0.115. You ought to have the capacity to make sense of the recipe weight H is 1, N is 14, O is 16. The result of the quantity of moles duplicated by the recipe weight ought to give an esteem in grams. You can utilize the thickness to change over to a volume of HNO3 to add to the right volume of water.
