Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.370 mol of formic acid (HCO2H) and 0.230 mol of sodium formate (NaCO2H) in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L of solution. The Ka of formic acid is

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.370 mol of formic acid (HCO₂H) and 0.230 mol of sodium formate (NaCO₂H) in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L of solution. The Ka of formic acid is 1.77 × 10⁻⁴

a) 2.099

b) 10.463

c) 3.546

d) 2.307

e) 3.952

The pH of the solution is 3.546

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of formic acid = 0.370 moles

Moles of sodium formate = 0.230 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:  

= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of formic acid = 3.75

pH = ?  

Putting values in above equation, we get:  

Hence, the pH of the solution is 3.546

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
