Cell reactions in a fuel cell:

Oxidation at the anode (-): Oxidation of hydrogen gas to water occurs at the anode. Reduction at the cathode (+): Reduction of oxygen gas to OH ions occurs at the cathode.

What substance would you add to KF(aq) to form a buffer solution? View Available Hint(s) What substance would you add to to form

AnnyKZ [126]

<h3>Answer</h3>

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A buffer solution contains <em>a weak acid</em> and<em> its conjugate base</em>. The two species shall have a similar concentration in the solution. It's also possible for <em>a weak base</em> and <em>its conjugate acid</em> to form a buffer solution.

The KF solution already contains large number of $\text{F}^{-}$ ions. The objective is to thus find its conjugate acid or base.

$\text{F}^{-}$ contains no proton $\text{H}^{+}$ and is unlikely to be a conjugate acid. Assuming that $\text{F}^{-}$ is a conjugate base. Adding one proton to $\text{F}^{-}$ would produce its conjugate acid.

$\text{H}^{+} \; (aq) + \text{F}^{-} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{HF}\; (aq)$

Therefore $\text{HF}$ is the conjugate acid of $\text{F}^{-}$ . $\text{HF}$ happens to be a weak acid. As a result, combining $\text{F}^{-}$ with $\text{HF}$ would produce a solution with large number of both the weak acid and its conjugate base, which is a buffer solution by definition.
