Given information
Concentration of formic acid =
Concentration of potassium formate =
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We know that,
Concentration of formic acid =
Standard value of Ka for formic acid =
Equilibrium reaction of Formic acid ( )is as follows:
Using ICE table
+ | + | ||||||
Initial | |||||||
Change | |||||||
Equilibrium |
Substitute the values,
The value of x is very small so, it can be neglected.
After solving, we get the value of x,
The concentration of =
Percentage of Ionization of acid=
Percentage of Formic acid =
Percentage of formic acid=
Percentage of formic acid = %
