QUESTION 1 Formic acid. HCOOH, is the substance that causes ant bites to sting, and K- 1.8 x 10- for its add dissociation equilibrium HCOOH (ag) + HO ()- H,0 (aq) + HCOO (ag) Find the pH of a solution in which the equlibrum concentration of formic acid is 0.014 M. Hint: You may assume that the concentrations of HO' and HCOO are the same at equilibrium. You will need to solve the equilibrium constant expression first. then use the result to find pH.

QUESTION 1
Formic acid. HCOOH, is the substance that causes ant bites to sting, and K- 1.8 x 10 for its acid dissociation equilibrium
HCOOH (ag) + H,0 ()- HO' (ag) + HCOO (ag)
Find the pH ofa solution in which the eguibrium concentration of formic acid is 0.014 M.
Hint: You may assume that the concentrations of H,O and HCOO are the same at equilibrium. You will need to solve the equilibrium constant expression first.
then use the result to find pH.
