For the following questions, wherever is necessary write the chemical equation(s) (pay tention to arrow(s) direction), mass balance equation(s) and then show all your assumption(s) and finally do not forget to verify assumption(s). Formic acid is a weak acid with molecular formula of HCOOH (represent as HA). K, for formic acid (HA)=1.8x10“. M.W. for formic acid= 46.03 g/mol, for sodium formate= 68.01 g/mol a) What is the pH of 0.300 M formic acid solution? b) What would be the pH of solution if 100.0 ml of 0.300 M formic acid is mixed 100.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH solution? c) What mass of sodium formate (NACOOH, represent as NaA) must be added to 100.0 mL of 0.300 M formic acid to produce a buffer solution with a pH of 4.00?
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
