Question- Formic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 3.74, it can be combined with its conjugate base the Formante ion (HCOO^1-) to produce a buffer.
Part a) Calculate the pH of the buffer solution porduced by adding 25ml of 0.125M HCOOH to 25mL of 0.110 M HCOONa.
Part b) Calculate the pH after 0.20 mL of 3.00 M HCl is added to the buffer solution in 4a.
Part c) Write a balanced net ionic equation showing the response of this buffer to the addition of HCl, (use H3O^1+) to represent the strong acid.
Show all the steps and provide appropriate answer to the above problem
