Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The amount (in grams) of formic acid present in 100 mL of the given formic acid solution has to be calculated.
Concept Information:
Acid ionization constant
Acids ionize in water. Strong acids ionize completely whereas weak acids ionize to some limited extent.
The degree to which a weak acid ionizes depends on the concentration of the acid and the equilibrium constant for the ionization.
The ionization of a weak acid
The equilibrium expression for the above reaction is given below.
Where
The concentration of hydrogen ion is measured using
The
Molar mass:
Molar mass is defined as mass of the chemical compound or chemical element divided by its amount.
To Calculate: The amount (in grams) of formic acid present in 100 mL of the given formic acid solution
