Formic acid (HCO2H) is a weak acid found in the venom of bees and ant stings.Which of the following is an accurate statement concerning an aqueous solution of formic acid? HCO2H(aq) + H2O(l)
H3O+(aq) + HCO2−(aq) Ka = 1.8 × 10−4
A) The reaction between formic acid and water is slow, due to the low value for Ka.
B) A formic acid solution predominantly contains undissociated HCO2H molecules.
C) A formic acid solution predominantly contains H3O+ and HCO2− ions.
D) A formic acid solution contains a greater concentration of dissolved ions than it does neutral formic acid molecules.
E) A formic acid solution contains equal amounts of H3O+ and HCO2H.
