what mass of sodium fluoride (FW=42.0 g/mol) must be added to 3.50 x 10^2 mL of water to give a solution with pH = 8.40?

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

Electronegativity _____. generally increases moving from left to right across a period generally decreases moving from left to r
mojhsa [17]
I believe the correct answer would be that electronegativity generally increases moving from left to right across a period. The periodic table of elements is arranged so that trends of the properties of the elements can be shown. For electronegativity, it decreases from right to left which means for the opposite direction it increases.

Which ion has the smallest radius?<br> (1) O2-<br> (2) S2-<br> (3) Se2-<br> (4) Te2-
podryga [215]

Answer:


                  Option-1 (O²⁻) is the correct answer.


Explanation:

                       All given anions contains same charge. So, we can ignore the effect of charge on these anions.


As we know all given compounds belongs to same group (Group 6) in periodic table. And from top to bottom along the group the elements are placed as,


                                                          Oxygen O


                                                          Sulfur S


                                                          Selenium Se


                                                          Tellurium Te


Hence, moving from top to bottom along the group the number of shells increases. And with increase in number of shell the atomic or ionic radii increases. As Oxygen is present at the top of the group, therefore, it has the smallest radius due to less number of shells.

Which of the following is not an example of a polymer? (2 points)
ahrayia [7]
Answer is "sucrose".

Polymer is a large molecule which is made from repeating units. The smallest repeating unit is called as monomer. <span>Polystyrene, nylon and PVC are examples for polymers. But sucrose is a disaccharide which is made from glucose and fructose. Hence, sucrose is not an example of polymer. </span>
