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

What volume of solution gives the desired moles?
motikmotik

Answer:

1. 0.073L

2. 0.028L

3. 0.014L

Explanation:

The volume for the different solutions are obtained as shown below:

1. Mole = 0.53mol

Molarity = 7.25M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.53/7.25

Volume = 0.073L

2. 0.035mol from a 1.25M

Mole = 0. 035mol

Molarity = 1.25M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.035/1.25

Volume = 0.028L

3. Mole = 0.0013mol

Molarity = 0.090M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.0013/0.090

Volume = 0.014L

1.As you move from left to right across a period,the number of valence electrons
Vitek1552 [10]
<span>1. The number of valence electrons increases as you go from left to right across a period. This is because the number of electrons increases, so another electron will be added to the outer shell.

2. Group 6A elements will have 6 valence elecrons, while Group 2A elements only have 2, therefore Group 6A elements have more valence electrons that Group 2A elements.

3. Fluorine has a smaller atomic size than the other halogens (Cl, Br, I), so its valence electrons are nearer to its nucleus. This means that the attractive forces are stronger, so when another electron (from another atom) draws near the F atom, it is more likely that the electron will be pulled toward the nucleus and react with the F atom</span>.

Which statement best describes the way a catalyst works?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer: E. It decreases the value of Eact.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.
