Answer:
9.36
Explanation:
Sodium formate is the conjugate base of formic acid.
Also,
for sodium formate is 
Given that:
of formic acid = 
And, 
So,
Concentration = 0.35 M
HCOONa ⇒ Na⁺ + HCOO⁻
Consider the ICE take for the formate ion as:
HCOO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HCOOH + OH⁻
At t=0 0.35 - -
At t =equilibrium (0.35-x) x x
The expression for dissociation constant of sodium formate is:
![K_{b}=\frac {[OH^-][HCOOH]}{[HCOO^-]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bb%7D%3D%5Cfrac%20%7B%5BOH%5E-%5D%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOO%5E-%5D%7D)
Solving for x, we get:
x = 0.44×10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.44×10⁻⁵) = 4.64
pH + pOH = 14
So,
<u>pH = 14 - 4.64 = 9.36</u>
Answer:
A bonding that occurs between high electronegative atoms such are N, F, O and H atoms, is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond. (C)
If hydrogen bonds are not formed between H atoms and N, F, O atom, then the atoms interact through dispersion forces (also known as london dispersion forces). Dispersion forces are weak and they are temporary forces formed by overlapping of orbitals. (B)
Carbon to carbon bond is nonpolar covalent since the difference of their electronegativity’s is 0. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5. 2.5 - 2.5 is 0 making the bond between those two atoms nonpolar covalent. I hope I answered your question.
D - matter remains constant in any chemical equation, so reactants always equal products.
