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 different physical property allows the distillation method to work?
shusha [124]

Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points , into the gas phase .

Compare green and red light from the visible spectrum. which has: the longer wavelength? the greater frequency? the greater ener
Artist 52 [7]
The spectrum goes as follows:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet
Red has the lowest frequency.
Since frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, therefore, red has the longest wavelength.

Now, consider, the equation:
E = (hc) / lambda
Since the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength, therefore, red will have the lowest energy.

Based on this, for the mentioned question:
1- Red has longer wavelength
2- Green has greater frequency
3- Green has greater energy

Why do molecules with dipole-dipole force have higher melting and boiling points than molecules
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Because dipole - dipole force is stronger than london dispersion force

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces determines a wide range of physical properties of matter of which melting point is one of them.

Both london dispersion forces and dipole- dipole forces are vanderwaals force.

But diople - dipole forces exists between polar molecules which are molecules with permanent dipoles.

In london dispersion forces the dipole is temporary
