When the Pka for formic acid = 3.77
and Pka = -㏒ Ka
3.77 = -㏒ Ka
∴Ka = 1.7x10^-4
when Ka = [H+][HCOO-}/[HCOOH]
when we have Ka = 1.7x10^-4 &[HCOOH] = 0.21 m
so by substitution: by using ICE table value
1.7x10^-4 = X*X / (0.21-X)
(1.7x10^-4)*(0.21-X) = X^2 by solving this equation for X
∴X = 0.0059
∴[H+] = 0.0059
∴PH= -㏒ [H+]
= -㏒ 0.0059
= 2.23
Answer:
a group of electrochemical cells that can be recharged
Answer:
A compound is a unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically. Compounds form as a result of chemical reactions. The elements in compounds are held together by chemical bonds. A chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions that share or transfer valence electrons
<h2>Ionic bonds result from transferring of electrons</h2>
Explanation:
- Ionic bonds result from transferring of electrons.
- An ionic bond is also referred to as an electrovalent bond.
- The main reason for the formation of the bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions that are cation and anion in a chemical compound.
- The formation of such bonds occurs when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred to another atom or the loss of electrons from one atom and gain of electrons of another atom.
- The atom that loses the electrons forms cation that is a positively charged ion.
- The atom that gains electrons forms an anion that is a negatively charged ion.
Boron fluoride. Since Boron has a 3+ charge, and Fluorine has a 1-, you need 3 atoms of Fluorine and 1 of Boron.
