PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula:
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case.
By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>
<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>
4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF]
log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89
Answer:
pH = 13.09
Explanation:
Zn(OH)2 --> Zn+2 + 2OH- Ksp = 3X10^-15
Zn+2 + 4OH- --> Zn(OH)4-2 Kf = 2X10^15
K = Ksp X Kf
= 3*2*10^-15 * 10^15
= 6
Concentration of OH⁻ = 2[Ba(OH)₂] = 2 * 0.15 = 3 M
Zn(OH)₂ + 2OH⁻(aq) --> Zn(OH)₄²⁻(aq)
Initial: 0 0.3 0
Change: -2x +x
Equilibrium: 0.3 - 2x x
K = Zn(OH)₄²⁻/[OH⁻]²
6 = x/(0.3 - 2x)²
6 = x/(0.3 -2x)(0.3 -2x)
6(0.09 -1.2x + 4x²) = x
0.54 - 7.2x + 24x² = x
24x² - 8.2x + 0.54 = 0
Upon solving as quadratic equation, we obtain;
x = 0.089
Therefore,
Concentration of (OH⁻) = 0.3 - 2x
= 0.3 -(2*0.089)
= 0.122
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
= -log 0.122
= 0.91
pH = 14-0.91
= 13.09
Explanation:
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positively charged and the anode is negatively charged.
The cathode attracts electron while the anode donates or releases electrons.
Electrons received - Cathode
Electrons donated - Anode
Since water molecules are polar. Unequal sharing of electrons between the elements that make it. The hydrogen atoms would experience a slight partial positive charge as the electron density is more close to the oxygen atom making it partially negative.
