Formic acid when in water would dissociate into ions just like any acids. It would dissociate into the hydrogen ion and the formate ion. The equilibrium dissociation equation would be written as:
<span>HCOOH (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H+ (aq) + HCOO- (aq)
Formic acid is a weak acid which means that when in aqueous solution it does not completely dissociate into its corresponding ions. Only a certain amount that would be dissociated so in the solution there will be HCOOH, HCOO- and H+ molecules. It is also known as Methanoic acid and an important substance for the synthesis of a number of substances. It is naturally occurring in ants.</span>
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HBr --> CaBr₂ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HBr is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.10 mol/L x 0.1000 L = 0.010 mol
Number of HBr moles added - 0.10 mol/L x 0.4000 = 0.040 mol
1 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs 2 mol of HBr for neutralisation
therefore 0.010 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs - 0.010 x 2 = 0.020 mol of HBr to be neutralised
but 0.040 mol of HBr has been added therefore number of moles of HBr in excess - 0.040 - 0.020 = 0.020 mol
then pH of the medium can be calculated using the excess H⁺ ions
HBr is a strong acid therefore complete ionization
[HBr] = [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 0.020 mol / (100.0 + 400.0 mL)
= 0.020 mol / 0.5 L
= 0.040 mol/L
pH = -log[H⁺]
pH = - log [0.040 M]
pH = 1.40
pH of the medium is 1.40
The artificial fixation of nitrogen (N2) has enormous energy, environmental, and societal impact, the most important of which is the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) for fertilizers that help support nearly half of the world's population.
<h3>Artificial fixation of nitrogen</h3>
a) The equilibrium constant expression is Kp=PCH4 PH2 OP CO×PH 23.
(b) (i) As the pressure increases, the equilibrium will shift to the left so that less number of moles are produced.
(ii) For an exothermic reaction, with the increase in temperature, the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction.
(iii) When a catalyst is used, the equilibrium is not disturbed. The equilibrium is quickly attained
