Question

Use the data in the simulation to find the Ka value of HF, hydrofluoric acid

Answer 1

We need to find the Ka value of HF. First, set up the balanced chemical equation:

HF ===> H+ + F-

The formula for the Ka value of an acid is

Ka = [concentration of products] / [concentration of reactants]

Ka = [H+] [F-} / [HF]

So if we are given the concentration of the products and reactants, we will be able to solve for the Ka value of HF.
