Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium fluoride, being a salt, dissolves in water completely producing F ⁻ ions. Now  F⁻ is the conjugate base of the weak acid HF, so in water we will have the following equilibrium:

F⁻  +  H₂O ⇆ HF + OH⁻

Given this equilibrium, we need to calculate Kb from the Ka for HF,  the [ OH ⁻] from the given pH, and finally the mass needed to produce that  OH⁻ concentration.  

The equilibrium constant, Kb , can be calculated from Kw = Ka x Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴ and Ka for HF is  6.6 x 10⁻⁴ from reference tables.

Kb = 10⁻¹⁴ / 6.6 x 10⁻⁴ = 1.5 x 10⁻¹¹

pH + pOH = 14  ⇒ pOH = 14 - 8.40 = 5.60

[ OH⁻ ] = 10^-5.60 = 2.51 x 10⁻⁶

Now we have all the information :

                                   F⁻                    HF                        OH⁻

Equilibrium                 X                  2.51 x 10⁻⁶            2.51 x 10⁻⁶

(2.51 x 10⁻⁶)² / X  =  1.5 x 10⁻¹¹     ⇒  X =  (2.51 x 10⁻⁶)²  / 1.5 x 10⁻¹¹

X = [ F⁻ ] = 0.41 M

For 350 mL ( 0.35 L ) we need to add:

0.41 mol HF/ 1 L  *  0.35 L = 0.144 mol

and finally the mass will be:

0.144 mol NaF *  42.0 g/mol NaF = 6.03 g NaF

On combustion, 1.0 L of a gaseous compound of hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur gives 2.0 L of CO2, 3.0 L of H2O vapor, and 1.0 L of
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the organic compound is  = C_2H_6S_1

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Moles of CO_2 gas at STP occupying 2.0 L = n

n\times 22.4L=2.0L

n=\frac{2.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.08929 mol

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of H_2O gas at STP occupying 3.0 L = n'

n'\times 22.4L=3.0L

n'=\frac{3.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.1339 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of SO_2 gas at STP occupying 1.0 L = n''

n''\times 22.4L=1.0L

n''=\frac{1.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.04464 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

Moles of carbon , hydrogen and sulfur constituent of that organic compound .

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

For empirical; formula divide the least number of moles from all the moles of elements.

carbon = \frac{0.08920 mol}{0.04464 mol}=2

Hydrogen =  \frac{0.2678 mol}{0.04464 mol}=6

Sulfur = \frac{0.04464 mol}{0.04464 mol}=1

The empirical formula of the organic compound is  = C_2H_6S_1

Will Florine react? will it combine with other elements?
Alexxx [7]

Fluorine is the most active chemical element, reacting with virtually every element. It even reacts with the noble gases at high temperatures and pressures. The noble gases, or Group 18 (VIIIA), also known as the inert gases, generally do not react with other elements.

Sulfur oxides Carbon monoxides Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)Nitrates are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.
svp [43]
The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.

What is the missing word in the word equation below?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

sodium carbonate

Explanation:

Sodium hydrogen carbonate (also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda) has the chemical formula NaHCO3. When it is heated above about 80°C it begins to break down, forming sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide. This type of reaction is called a thermal decomposition.
