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

What best describes why a liquid needs a container when a solid does not?
kvv77 [185]
Because if you have a liquid then you need a glass to keep it together and when it is a solid it is already together so you don't need to do anything

Answer:

You should rinse your head thoroughly ASAP, don't try to blow on the chemical or anything. Its going burn, you have to let your head cool off.

Explanation:

why rinse off your hand? you're getting the fluid away fast, so I can't infect your skin that much.
