The atomic number of copper is 29.
Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)
I don’t understand, what does that say in english?
The correct answer is b, 18 protons
Answer:
3.6
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Concentration of formic acid: 0.03 M
- Concentration of formate ion: 0.02 M
- Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 1.8 × 10⁻⁴
Step 2: Calculate the pH
We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HCOOH) and its conjugate base (HCOO⁻). We can calculate the pH using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>.
![pH = pKa +log\frac{[base]}{[acid]} = -log 1.8 \times 10^{-4} + log \frac{0.02}{0.03} = 3.6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20pKa%20%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%20%3D%20-log%201.8%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B0.02%7D%7B0.03%7D%20%3D%203.6)
