The molarity of formic acid is 100 mM or 
. The dissociation reaction of formic acid is as follows:
The expression for dissociation constant of the reaction will be:
![K_{a}=\frac{[HCOO^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HCOOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Ba%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOOH%5D%7D)
Rearranging,
![[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{K_{a}[HCOOH]}{[H^{+}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D)
Here, pH of solution is 4.15 thus, concentration of hydrogen ion will be:
![[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.15}=7.08\times 10^{-5}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%3D10%5E%7B-pH%7D%3D10%5E%7B-4.15%7D%3D7.08%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DM)
Similarly, 
thus,
Putting the values,
![[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{(1.78\times 10^{-4}M)(100\times 10^{-3}M)}{(7.08\times 10^{-5}M}=0.2511 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281.78%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7DM%29%28100%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DM%29%7D%7B%287.08%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DM%7D%3D0.2511%20M)
Therefore, the concentration of formate will be 0.2511 M.
Pressure can affect the boiling pressure of a substance
as when pressure increases the particles are closer together and so require more energy to boil therefore increasing the substances boiling point
hope that helps
This correct option is C.
10^-2 = 0.001
8.7 * 10^-2 = 8.7 * 0.001 = 0.0087
Thus, 8.7 * 10^-2 is equivalent to 0.0087.
