A formic acid buffer solution contains 0. 20 m h c o o h hcooh and 0. 24 m h c o o − hcoox−. the pka of formic acid is 3. 75. wh
irina1246 [14]

A buffer solution contains an equivalent amount of acid and base. The pH of the solution with an acid dissociation constant (pKa) value of 3.75 is 3.82.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The amount of hydrogen or the proton ion in the solution is expressed by the pH. It is given by the sum of pKa and the log of the concentration of acid and bases.

Given,

Concentration of salt [HCOO⁻] = 0.24 M

Concentration of acid [HCOOH] = 0.20 M

The acid dissociation constant (pKa) = 3.75

pH is calculated from the Hendersons equation as,

pH = pKa + log [salt] ÷ [acid]

pH = 3.75 + log [0.24] ÷ [0.20]

= 3.75 + log (1.2)

= 3.75 + 0.079

= 3.82

Therefore, 3.82 is the pH of the buffer.

Which one of the following compounds is not covalent?
denpristay [2]
KCI is not a covalent compound, it is an ionic compound. 
A covalent compound is one in which each of the atoms involved contribute a specific number of electrons for sharing in order to from stable compound while an ionic compound is a compound formed when one atom donates electron to the other atom in the compound, in order to attain stability.  The compounds given in options A, B and D shared electrons while in KCl, potassium donates an electron to chlorine.
