Answer : The  moles of solid NaF is, 1.09 mole.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 3.46

K_a=7.2\times 10^{-4}

Concentration of HF = 0.115 M

Volume of solution = 1.0 L

First we have to calculate the value of pK_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (7.2\times 10^{-4})

pK_a=4-\log (7.2)

pK_a=3.14

Now we have to calculate the moles of HF.

\text{Moles of }HF=\text{Concentration of }HF\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }HF=0.115M\times 1.0L=0.115mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaF.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{\text{Moles of NaF}}{\text{Moles of HF}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

3.46=3.14+\log (\frac{\text{Moles of NaF}}{0.115})

\text{Moles of NaF}=1.09mol

Thus, the moles of solid NaF is, 1.09 mole.
