4). calculate the pH of a 0.265 M solution of propanoic acid
HC3H5O2 (aq) = C3H5O2- (aq) + H+ (aq), Ka = 1.34 x 10^-5
Propanoic acid ionizes in water according to the equation above
A) write the equilibrium- constant expression for the reaction
B) calculate the pH of a 0.265 M solution of propanoic acid

5) A 0.496 g sample of sodium propanoate , NaC3H5O2 , is added to a 50.0ml sample of a 0.265 M solution of propanoic acid. Assuming that no change in the volume of the solution occurs , calculate each of the following
(I) The concentration of propanoate ion. , in the solution
(Ii) The concentration of the H+ (aq) ion I the solution

6) The methanoate ion , HCO2- (aq) , reacts with water to form methanoic acid and OH- ion as shown in the following equation
HCO2 - (aq). + H2O (l). = HCO2H (aq) + OH- (aq)
given that OH- concentration is 4.18 x 10^ -6 M in a 0.309 M solution of sodium methanoate , calculate each of the following
