pH of the buffer solution is 1.76.
Chemical dissociation of formic acid in the water:
HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)
The solution of formic acid and formate ions is a buffer.
[HCOO⁻] = 0.015 M; equilibrium concentration of formate ions
[HCOOH] + [HCOO⁻] = 1.45 M; sum of concentration of formic acid and formate
[HCOOH] = 1.45 M - 0.015 M
[HCOOH] = 1.435 M; equilibrium concentration of formic acid
pKa = -logKa
pKa = -log 1.8×10⁻⁴ M
pKa = 3.74
Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)
pH = 3.74 + log (0.015 M/1.435 M)
pH = 3.74 - 1.98
pH = 1.76

H ( hydrogen ) is the answer I believe.
B. Bleach and sea water should be identified as bases
Explanation:
- The pH scale measures the acidic or basic nature of a substance.
- Ranges from 0 to 14.
- If pH is lower than 7 → the solution is an acid.
- If pH is more than 7 → the solution is an basic or alkaline.
- If a pH is a 7 it is neutral.
In the given question, the pH scale measures for bleach is 8 and for sea water it is 13. So, bleach is basic, not neutral and Sea water is basic too instead of acid. So, Bleach and sea water should be identified as bases.
The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.
Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.
Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.
Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.
Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.
Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:
- Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.
- Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.
