Chemistry
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
3 0

Similar to Cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances . Water uses adhesion when it's attraction to another substance is greater than the water's attraction to itself. if you have ever dropped a cup of water on a hardwood floor,you know that it spreads out instead of foaming beads.

What is the optimum ph of a sodium formate/formic acid buffer? (for formic acid, ka = 1. 7 × 10–4. )
hoa [83]

The optimum pH of formic acid - formate buffer is 3.75

<h3>What is pH? </h3>
  • pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
  • pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

What is Buffer ?

A substance or a solution which resists any changes in pH, when acid or alkali is added to it.

pH = pKa + log[base] / [acid]

Considering equimolar concentration of acid and base

pH = 3.75 + log(x)/(x)

pH = 3.75 + log (1)

pH = 3.75 + 0

pH = 3.75

Hence,

The optimum pH of formic acid - formate buffer is 3.75

postnew [5]
You didn't put a + charge on one of the Ag. It has to be on the left side 

2H2O + MnO2 ==> MnO4^- + 3e + 4H^+ 

Ag^+ + e ==> Ag^+ 
Those are the two BALANCED half reactions. Multiply equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3 and add them.
