pH of the buffer solution is 1.76.
Chemical dissociation of formic acid in the water:
HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)
The solution of formic acid and formate ions is a buffer.
[HCOO⁻] = 0.015 M; equilibrium concentration of formate ions
[HCOOH] + [HCOO⁻] = 1.45 M; sum of concentration of formic acid and formate
[HCOOH] = 1.45 M - 0.015 M
[HCOOH] = 1.435 M; equilibrium concentration of formic acid
pKa = -logKa
pKa = -log 1.8×10⁻⁴ M
pKa = 3.74
Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)
pH = 3.74 + log (0.015 M/1.435 M)
pH = 3.74 - 1.98
pH = 1.76

Answer:
Vapour pressure of benzene over the solution is 253 torr
Explanation:
According to Raoult's law for a mixture of two liquid component A and B-
vapour pressure of a component (A) in solution = 
vapour pressure of a component (B) in solution = 
Where 
are mole fraction of component A and B in solution respectively
are vapour pressure of pure A and pure B respectively
Here mole fraction of benzene in solution is 0.340 and vapour pressure of pure benzene is 745 torr
So, vapour pressure of benzene in solution = 
= 253 torr
Answer:
increased
Explanation:
Consuming a compound increases the concentration. When you increase the concentration, the rate constant for that reaction also increases.
