the volu me relmadIIs CUnStunt. Istu. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the pH of a buffer solution that is 0.25 M in formic acid (HCO,H) and 0.50 M in sodium formate (HCO,Na). 18.69 Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the ratio of H,CO3 to HCO3 in blood having a pH of 7.40.
Can you please answer sub question A and B and show all of the steps to the solution please and thank you
Solution, which resist in pH change value upon addition of small amount of strong acid or base (less then 1%) is known as buffer solution
Acidic buffer An acidic buffer solution consist with solution of weak acid and its salt.
Basic buffer - A basic buffer solution consist with solution of weak base and its salt.
Given information:
Concentration of formic acid =
Concentration of sodium formate =
of formic acid = 3.75
Solution consist with weak acid formic acid and its salt sodium formate. Therefore, the mixture is an acidic buffer solution.
From Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for acidic buffer solution:
Substitute, 3.75 , concentration of salt and concentration of formic acid in the expression:
Therefore, the pH of the solution mixture of formic acid and sodium formate is .
