Answer:
attached here is the diagram of the solution
Explanation:
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

Answer:
The concentration of HA is the same as concentration of H3O+ and A- produced.
Explanation:
The dissociation equation is given below:
HA(aq) + H2O (l) —> H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)
From the reaction above, we can see that the acid is monoprotic acid i.e it has only 1 ionisable hydrogen atom.
Now, from the balanced equation, we can see that the acid produced equal concentration of H3O+ and A-.
This account for the reason why the bars for H3O+ and A- have the same height as the bar for HA.
