Question

5. Given the following information:


acetic acid
=
CH3COOH
formic acid
=
HCOOH

HCOOH is a stronger acid than CH3COOH

(a) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.088 M aqueous acetic acid and sodium formate are mixed. It is not necessary to include states such as (aq) or (s). Use HCOO- as the formula for the formate ion.


+  +


(b) Which is the stronger base, CH3COO- or HCOO-?



(c) At equilibrium the will be favored

Answer 1

Answer:

formic :- ant sting the formic acid in our skin and after few minutes we starts scratching our skin

for preventing this we can apply toothpaste

Explanation:
