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.
A covalent bond is your answer
Answer: d. both (b) and (c)
Explanation:
Atoms are too small to be seen on microscopes, so we model them based on theories.
Answer:
Choice A: approximately
.
Explanation:
Note that the unit of concentration,
, typically refers to moles per liter (that is:
.)
On the other hand, the volume of the two solutions in this question are apparently given in
, which is the same as
(that is:
.) Convert the unit of volume to liters:
.
.
Calculate the number of moles of
formula units in that
of the
solution:
.
Note that
(sulfuric acid) is a diprotic acid. When one mole of
completely dissolves in water, two moles of
ions will be released.
On the other hand,
(sodium hydroxide) is a monoprotic base. When one mole of
formula units completely dissolve in water, only one mole of
ions will be released.
ions and
ions neutralize each other at a one-to-one ratio. Therefore, when one mole of the diprotic acid
dissolves in water completely, it will take two moles of
to neutralize that two moles of
produced. On the other hand, two moles formula units of the monoprotic base
will be required to produce that two moles of
. Therefore,
and
formula units would neutralize each other at a two-to-one ratio.

Previous calculations show that
of
was produced. Calculate the number of moles of
formula units required to neutralize that

Calculate the concentration of a
solution that contains exactly
of
