max points! Suppose you need to prepare 23.0 mL of formate buffer with a ratio of 3.4 of [sodium formate]/[formic acid] by mixing 0.10 M formic acid and 0.10 M sodium formate. How many milliliters of sodium formate do you need to measure to make this buffer (assuming the rest is formic acid)? Enter your answer to one decimal place.

I dont know the answer.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
