Answer:

b) 3.10

Explanation:

HF ⇄ H + + F

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA].

Where;

pKa = Dissociation constant = -log Ka

Hence, pKa of HF = -log 7.2 x 10^-4 = 3.14266

[A-] = concentration of conjugate base after dissociation = moles of base/total volume

          = 0.15 x 0.3/0.8

               = 0.05625 M

[HA] = concentration of the acid = moles of acid/total volume

             = 0.10 x 0.5/0.8

                    = 0.0625 M

Note: <em>Total volume = 500 + 300 = 800 mL = 0.8 dm3</em>

pH = 3.14266 + log [0.05625/0.0625]

      = 3.14267 + (-0.04575749056)

           = 3.09691250944

<em>From all the available options below:</em>

<em>a) 2.97 </em>

<em>b) 3.10 </em>

<em>c) 3.19 </em>

<em>d) 3.22 </em>

<em>e) 3.32</em>

The correct option is b.

Imagine a planet that has a similar atmospheric pressure to Earth (760 mmHg) but different concentrations of gases in its atmosp
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

76 mmHg is the partial pressure of oxygen on this new planet.

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure on air on earth = 760 mmHg

On an unknown planet :

Oxygen makes up 10% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of oxygen gas can be written as = \chi_1=\frac{10}{100}=0.1

Carbon dioxide makes up 15% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of carbon dioxide gas can be written as = \chi_2=\frac{15}{100}=0.15

Nitrogen makes up the remaining 75% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of nitrogen gas can be written as = \chi_1=\frac{75}{100}=0.75

Atmospheric pressure of air on unknown planet,p= 760 mmHg (given)

Partial pressure of gases can be calculated by the help o Dalton's law of partial pressure:

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

p_1=p\times \chi_1

p_1=760 mmHg\times 0.1=76 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas :

p_2=p\times \chi_2

p_2=760 mmHg\times 0.15=114 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

p_3=p\times \chi_3

p_3=760 mmHg\times 0.75=570 mmHg

Why does fluorine have the highest electronegativity
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Because it only needs one more electron to get to a full valence shell (8), so it really wants it and is pulling other electrons in. It also has to do with needing one more electron to fill the 2p shell. It is a small element which means its electrons are pulled tightly to the nucleus.

Hope this helps!

What is the mass of 0.257 mol of calcium nitrate?
poizon [28]

Answer: 42.14 g

Explanation:      calcium nitrate -  Ca(NO_{3} )_{2}

                   , the molar mass of calcium nitrate = 164 g

<h3>                   formula used = given mass/molar mass= no of moles </h3>

                   mass required =0.257*164

                                               =42.14 g
