Answer:

3.51

Explanation:

Before any sodium hydroxide has been added, the pH is that of the aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution.

HF is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following equation.

HF(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)      Ka = 6.76 × 10⁻⁴

We can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

[H⁺] = √(0.458 × 6.76 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.51

Choose the correct statement regarding the relative size of atoms:
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The atoms on left side are larger than the atoms on the right side of the periodic table because those on the right have more proton's.

Explanation:

As we travel along a period in a periodic table then the atomic radii decreases

This is because as we travel along a period we have that the atomic number of the atoms increases which means the the number of proton's increased

But the electron's add to the same outer shell throughout the period , which means the effective nuclear charge increases which pulls the outer electrons toward's the nucleus and the size decreases.

Therefore the atoms on left side are larger than the atoms on the right side of the periodic table because those on the right have more proton's.

The removal of one or more electrons from a neutral atom results in and
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The removal of one or more electrons from a neutral atom results in a cation.

Explanation:

When you remove electrons from a neutral atom, the atom becomes more positive. Electrons have a negative charge and the protons inside of the nucleus have a positive charge. When electrons are removed, the positive charges from the protons outweigh the negative charges. This results in a positively charged atom, called a cation.

2. When heated above 500 ºC, potassium nitrate decomposes according to the equation below. 4KNO3 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2A.If oxygen is
AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) The rate of formation of K2O is 0.12 M/s.

The rate of formation of N2 is also 0.12 M/s

(b) The rate of decomposition of KNO3 is 0.24 M/s

Explanation:

(a) From the equation of reaction, the mole ratio of K2O to O2 is 2:5.

Rate of formation of O2 is 0.3 M/s

Therefore, rate of formation of K2O = (2×0.3/5) = 0.12 M/s

Also from the equation of reaction, mole ratio of N2 to O2 is 2:5.

Rate of formation of N2 = (2×0.3/5) = 0.12 M/s

(b) From the equation of reaction, mole ratio of KNO3 to O2 is 4:5.

Therefore, rate of decomposition of KNO3 = (4×0.3/5) = 0.24 M/s
