Yes it is polluting the river with everything the manufaturing plant gives off such as the chemicals released in the air
Potassium is placed where it is based on its properties and it's reactivity. It's also placed there based on it's atomic number.
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
Hept for 7, hence the number is seven.
Answer: I have no idea what kind of question this is, but I'm assuming it's a true or false question, and this is true. Although the north-bound pole is south-seeking, a compass would eventually draw you to the North Pole.
