Answer: option C. HF

Explanation: A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. Fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen so the electrons in the bond are more closely associated with the fluorine atom than with the hydrogen atom.

What percentage of the mass of hydrofluoric acid (HF) is contributed by hydrogen?

Morgarella [4.7K]

This problem is asking for the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrofluoric acid. At the end, the answer turns out to be D. 5% as shown below:

<h3>Percent compositions:</h3>

In chemistry, percent compositions are used for us to know the relative amount of a specific element in a compound. In order to do so for hydrogen, we use the following formula, which can also be applied to any other element in a given compound:

$\% H=\frac{m_H*1}{M_{HF}}*100\%$

Where $m_H$ stands for the atomic mass of hydrogen and $M_{HF}$ for the molar mass of hydrofluoric acid. In such a way, we plug in the atomic masses of hydrogen (1.01 g/mol) and fluorine (19.0 g/mol) to obtain:
