The molarity of formic acid is 100 mM or 100\times 10^{-3}M. The dissociation reaction of formic acid is as follows:

HCOOH\leftrightharpoons HCOO^{-}+H^{+}

The expression for dissociation constant of the reaction will be:

K_{a}=\frac{[HCOO^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HCOOH]}

Rearranging,

[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{K_{a}[HCOOH]}{[H^{+}]}

Here, pH of solution is 4.15 thus, concentration of hydrogen ion will be:

[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.15}=7.08\times 10^{-5}M

Similarly, pK_{a}=3.75 thus,

[K_{a}=10^{-pK_{a}}=10^{-3.75}=1.78\times 10^{-4}M

Putting the values,

[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{(1.78\times 10^{-4}M)(100\times 10^{-3}M)}{(7.08\times 10^{-5}M}=0.2511 M

Therefore, the concentration of formate will be 0.2511 M.

maks197457 [2]

the answer to your question is

M1V1=M2V2

V2=750-150=600 ml

0.75M*750 ml = M2*600

M2=0.75*750/600 ≈ 9.38 M

At a certain temperature this reaction follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 2.01 s^−1
ddd [48]

Answer:

0.80 seconds (2 significant figures)

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

CICH2CH2Cl (g) --> CH2CHCI (g) + HCl(g)

Rate constant (k) = 2.01 s^-1

From the units of the rate constant, this is a first order reaction.

Initial Concentration = 1.34 M

t = ?

Final concentration = 20% of 1.34 = 0.268 M

The integrated rate law for a first order reaction is given as;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

ln(0.268) = ln(1.34) - 2.01(t)

-2.01(t) = - 1.6094

t = 0.8007 ≈ 0.80 seconds (2 significant figures)
