Write the acid dissociation expression based on the equilibrium equation for the dissociation of methanoic acid?

Answer 1

CORRECTED:

Methanoic acid, also known as formic acid, is HCOOH. Its conjugate base is HCOO^-.

The equilibrium equation is

HCOOH (aq) <--> HCOO^- (aq) + H⁺ (aq)

The acid dissociation expression takes the form

K_a = [HCOO^-][H⁺]

----------------

[HCOOH]

where[...] means concentration of ...
