    A2 - Acids and Bases help :)
    1. calculate the pH of the solution formed when 20cm3 of 0.100 mol dm-3 methanoic acid (Ka=1.7x1014 mold dm-3) is added to 40cms of 0.080 mol dm-3 KOH

    Hey, basically, I have done the question but came up with an unexpected answer (possibly) so have gone wrong somewhere, could you possibly show your working so i can compare and see where I have gone wrong??

    Any help much appreciated!! Thanks so much x
