The correct answer is 2.73.

HF is a weak acid which partially dissociates to release H+ and F-

HF → H⁺ + F⁻

Initial 0.0050 0 0

Change -x +x +x

Equilibrium 0.0050–x +x +x

Solve by using the equilibrium expression: = [H⁺] [F⁻]/ [HF]

6 .8 x 10⁻⁴= x. x / 0.0050 –x

6 .8 x 10⁻⁴= x² /0.0050

x² = 6 .8 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.0050

x² = 3.4 x 10⁻⁶

x = 3.4 x 10⁻⁶

[H⁺] = 1.84 x 10⁻³

pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (1.84 x 10⁻³)

pH = 2.73

5. an atom that has lost or gained an electron and has become charged

densk [106]

Answer:

It would be compound.

Explanation:

It is this way because if it adds another proton it becomes more positive that nuetral, and if you add an electron it just makes the atom more dense. That is why the answer is compound. Hope this helped :)

Which type of bonding is most important in ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?

saveliy_v [14]

The compound $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.

Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ .
