To determine the percent ionization of the acid given, we make use of the acid equilibrium constant (Ka) given. It is the ration of the equilibrium concentrations of the dissociated ions and the acid. The dissociation reaction of the HF acid would be as follows:<span>

HF = H+ + F-

The acid equilibrum constant would be expressed as follows:

Ka = [H+][F-] / [HF] = 3.5 x 10-4

To determine the equilibrium concentrations we use the ICE table,
         HF             H+              F-
I      0.337           0                 0
C      -x              +x               +x
---------------------------------------------
E    0.337-x        x                   x 

3.5 x 10-4 = [H+][F-] / [HF] 
3.5 x 10-4 = [x][x] / [0.337-x] </span>

Solving for x,

x = 0.01069 = [H+] = [F-]

percent ionization = 0.01069 / 0.337 x 100  = 3.17%

The percent ionization of a 0.337 M HF solution : <u>3.2%</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

According to Arrhenius, acids are substances which, when dissolved in water, release Hions.

An HₓY acid in water will ionize:

HₓY (aq) --------> xH⁺ (aq) + Yˣ- (aq)

Example:

HCl -------> H⁺ + Cl⁻

The amount of Hions produced by 1 acid molecule is called valence acid, whereas acidic residuals are formed after the release of Hions.

Usually, the name acid begins with the word acid followed by the name of the remaining acidic ion

The ion concentration of a weak acid is determined by the value of the acid ionization constant (Ka).

The greater the value of Ka, the greater the dissociated acid produces its Hion and the greater its acidity

HF is a weak acid

Weak acid ionization reaction occurs partially (not ionizing perfectly as in strong acids)

The ionization reaction of a weak acid is an equilibrium reaction

HA (aq) ---> H + (aq) + A- (aq)

The equilibrium constant for acid ionization is called the acid ionization constant, which is symbolized by Ka

The values ​​for the weak acid reactions above:

<h3>Ka = [H +] [A-] / [HA] </h3>

The greater the Ka, the stronger the acid, which means the reaction to the right is also greater

The degree of ionization (symbol α) is the ratio of the amount of ionizing substance to the amount of substance dissolved

α = amount of substance ionizing : amount of substance dissolved

HF decomposition reaction

HF ---> H⁺+ F⁻ if there is 0.337 M HF, then

\rm Ka=\dfrac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}

3.5 x 10⁻⁴. = x. x : 0.337-x (0.337-x is considered proportional to 0.337 because x is very small)

1,179.10⁻⁴ = x²

x = 0.01086

α = 0.01086: 0.337

α = 0.0322

α = 3.22%

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?
Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}

The conjugate base is F^{-} which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Alina [70]

Answer:

N - 1s²2s²2p³

Explanation:

Nitrogen is located in the p-block of the periodic table (groups 13-18) and is on the 2nd period.

The 2nd period tells us the principal energy level (a quantum number) is n = 2. Therefore, it must have already filled up the 1s sublevel.

The groups 13-18 on period 2 tells us that the 2s sublevel is also filled.

Nitrogen is located in Group 15. That means that there are 3 electrons that have filled the 2p sublevel, out of a possible 6.

Therefore, our electron configuration is 1s²2s²2p³
