Answer:
pH of buffer =4.75
Explanation:
The pH of buffer solution is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation:
![pH=pKa+log[\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpKa%2Blog%5B%5Cfrac%7B%5Bsalt%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
Given:
pKa = 3.75
concentration of acid = concentration of formic acid = 1 M
concentration of salt = concentration of sodium formate = 10 M
![pH=3.75+log[\frac{10}{1}]=3.75+1=4.75](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D3.75%2Blog%5B%5Cfrac%7B10%7D%7B1%7D%5D%3D3.75%2B1%3D4.75)
pH of buffer =4.75
Answer:
In aqueous solution the pH scale varies from 0 to 14, which indicates this concentration of hydrogen. Solutions with pH less than 7 are acidic (the value of the exponent of the concentration is higher, because there are more ions in the solution) and alkaline (basic) those with a pH higher than 7. If the solvent is pure water, the pH = 7 indicates neutrality of the solution
Explanation:
PH is a measure of how acidic or basic a liquid is. Specifically, from a dissolution. The acidity of a solution is essentially due to the concentration of hydrogen ions dissolved in it. In reality, the ions are not found alone, but are in the form of hydronium ions consisting of one oxygen molecule and three positively charged hydrogen. PH precisely measures this concentration. And to do it, we can use simple and very visual methods.
First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
1.54 x 10^-10 (ten to the negative tenth power)
