Q1. Calculate the concentrations of the non-ionised acid of the ions in a 0.1 M formic acid at equilibrium. ( Ka =1.7* 10^-4)
HCOOH = HCOO- + H+
0.1 0 0
0.1(1-a) 0.1a 0.1a
Ka = 0.01a20.1(1-a) = 0.1a21-a
We can solve for a and then calculate 0.01(1-a)
Here ostwald formula cant be used bcz a is NOT << 1

Q3.100mL of 0.1N NaOH is mixed with 100ml of 0.1N CH3COOH . What is the pH of the resulting solution. Given Ka = 1.8*10-5
NaOH + CH3COOH = CH3COONa + H2O

millimole millimole
So, the product will consist of CH3COONa (10 millimole) in 200 ml, so conc = 0.05
So, CH3COO- + H2O = CH3COOH + OH-
0.05
0.05(1-a) 0.05a 0.05a
Keq = Kb = 25*10-4a20.05(1-a) = 5*10-2a21-a
Solve for a and find [OH-] then pH can be found

HA →H++A-
K=[H+] [A-] /[HA] =10-4
Now reaction
HA+OH-→H2O +A-
K'=[A-]/[HA][OH-]
=10-4/10-14=1010
