In an ideal case, the acid would completely protonate. such an acid would be a strong acid. Dissociation of Formic acid looks like:
HCOOH + H₂O → COOH⁻ + H₃O⁺
one mole of formic acid should give one mole of Hydronium(H₃O⁺) ions
similarly, 0.1 moles of formic acid should produce 0.1 moles of hydronium ions. but we know that it is not the case, a much lesser amount is actually formed.
Which means that Formic acid did not completely dissociate into COOH⁻ and H⁺ ions.
Hence, Formic Acid is a weak acid
The first one

Answer:
C) 1 x 10-10 M
Explanation:
To solve this question we must use the equation:
Kw = [H+] [OH-]
<em>Where Kw is the equilibrium dissociation of water = 1x10-14</em>
<em>[H+] is the molar concentration of hydronium ion = 1x10-4M</em>
<em>[OH-] is the molar concentration of hydroxyl ion</em>
<em />
Replacing:
1x10-14= 1x10-4 [OH-]
<em>[OH-] = 1x10-14 / 1x10-4M</em>
<em>[OH-] = 1x10-10 M</em>
Right option is:
<h3>C) 1 x 10-10 M
</h3>
Answer:
Every chemical equation follows to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. When you have an equal number of atoms of an element is present on both sides of a chemical equation, the equation is balanced therefore it is following the law of conservation of mass.
