Answer:
The reaction shifts to the left.
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant (K) = 46.3
Reaction Quotient (Q) = 525
The relationship between Q and K with their implications are given as;
K = Q (No net reaction)
K > Q (Reaction shifts to the right)
K < Q (Reaction shifts to the left)
Since in this question, Q (525) > K (46.3)
The reaction shifts to the left.
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
