Write the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a solution of formic acid. Calculate the quotient [HCO2]/[HCO2H] at (a) pH 3.000; (b) pH 3.744; (c) pH 4.000.

a. 0.182

b. 1.009

c. 1.819

Explanation:

Henderson-Hasselbach equation is:

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

Let's replace the formula by the given values.

a. 3 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

-0.74 = log [salt / acid]

10⁻⁰'⁷⁴ = 0.182

b. 3.744 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3.744 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.004 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'⁰⁰⁴ = 1.009

c. 4 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

4 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.26 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'²⁶ = 1.819

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
