The question is incomplete, complete question is :
Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? (
for HF is 
.)
[HF] = 0.280 M
Express your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.
Explanation:3
Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M
Dissociation constant of the HF = 
Initially
c 0 0
At equilibrium :
(c-x) x x
The expression of disassociation constant is given as:
![K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BF%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHF%5D%7D)
Solving for x, we get:
x = 0.01346 M
So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :
![[H^+]=x=0.01346 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3Dx%3D0.01346%20M)
The pH of the solution is ;
![pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D-%5Clog%5B0.01346%20M%5D%3D1.87)
The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.
Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
Answer:
25.35%
Explanation:
Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;
H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Amount of potassium permanganate reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles
If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-
8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2
= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-
Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol
= 0.03 g
Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100
= 25.35%
Answer: "exothermic" .
