In order to determine, Order of reaction, we have to add all the exponents written in the Chemical form, on the Reactant species.
Hope this helps!
The dissociation of formic acid is:
The acid dissociation constant of formic acid, 
is:
![k_a = \frac{[HCOO^{-}] [H^{+}]}{HCOOH}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20k_a%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%20%20%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%7BHCOOH%7D%20%20%20%20%20)
Rearranging the equation:
![\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bk_a%7D%7B%5BH_%2B%5D%7D%20)
pH = 2.75
![pH = -log[H^{+}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20pH%20%3D%20-log%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%20)
![[H^{+}]= 10^{-2.75} = 1.78 \times 10^{-3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%3D%2010%5E%7B-2.75%7D%20%3D%201.78%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%20)
Substituting the values in the equation:
![\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{1.78\times 10^{-4}}{1.78\times 10^{-3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1.78%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%7D%7B1.78%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%7D%20%20%20)
Hence, the ratio is 
.
Take 15/100 X 75 = The answer
Answer:
c. Mercury is used in barometers because it has a high density
Explanation:
Chemical change -
It refers to any change in a chemical process , where there is formation of any new substance , is referred to as a chemical change .
The indication of any chemical change is the formation of some new substance.
Hence, from the question,
The process which does not involve chemical change is -
The use of mercury in barometer , to measure pressure , in this process no new substance is formed i.e. , now change in mercury.
