The question isn't very clear and appears to be missing some important information. I assume you mean 0.60 M formic acid? Also, we will need to know the volume of the 0.60 M formic acid that is being titrated. Is it 40 ml? Your sentences don't make total sense either. So, it's difficult to interpret exactly what is being asked. Please be careful to copy the question EXACTLY as it appears.

sorry ............ The Ka of formic acid HCOOH is 1.77 x 10^-4. A 0.60 M formic acid solution of 40.0 mL is titrated with 0.40 M NaOH. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the above titration? a. After adding 30. 0 mL of NaOH, the pH of the resulting solution is equal to the pKb of format ion (HCOO-). b. The pH of 0.60 M of formic acid solution of 40.0 mL is greater than 7. c. After adding 60.0 mL of NaOH, the pH of the resulting solution is greater than 7. d. After adding 40.0 mL of NaOH the pH of the resulting solution is greater than 7. e. After adding 20.0 mL of NaOH, the pH of the resulting solution is calculated as pH = pKa.12/02/21
