Answer:
Kₐ = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴
Explanation:
First lets write the equilibrium expression, Ka , for the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid:
HF + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + F⁻
Kₐ = [ H₃O⁺ ] [ F⁻ ] /[ [ HF ]
Since we are given the pH we can calculate the [ H₃O⁺ ] ( pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] , and because the acid dissociates into a 1: 1 relation , we will also have [F⁻ ]. The [ HF ] is given in the question so we have all the information that is needed to compute Kₐ.
pH = -log [ H₃O⁺ ]
1.68 = - log [ H₃O⁺ ]
Taking antilog to both sides of this equation:
10^-1.68 = [ H₃O⁺ ] ⇒ 2.1 X 10⁻² M= [ H₃O⁺ ]
[ F⁻ ] = 2.1 X 10⁻² M
Solving for Kₐ :
Kₐ = ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) x ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) / 0.65 = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴
(Rounded to two significant figures, the powers of 10 have infinite precision )
Answer:
Protons:
- positive
- aka cation
- in the nucleus along with the neutrons
Electrons:
- negative
- aka anion
- situated in the orbital shells/configuration levels (there are many names)
Zn, Cd, and Ag are transition metals that usually form only one monoatomic cation.
A monatomic cation is a cation made of only one atom.
Cations are positively charged ions, in this example Ag⁺, Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺.
These cations form only one type of ion, while iron and copper form more than one type of cations.
Iron and copper form cations with different charges (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu⁺, Cu²⁺).
It depends on electron configuration which type would be formed.
Electron configuration of zinc atom: ₃₀Zn 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s²
Transition metals are elements in the d-block of the Periodic table.

The concentration of the hydrogen ions from molarity can be given with the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecular formula.
<h3>What is molarity?</h3>
Molarity is given as the moles of the solute present in a liters of solution. The compound with the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecular formula with degradation possesses the equivalent concentration of the hydrogen ions.
The compound with molecular formula AH having molarity 2, will produce 2M of hydrogen ions.
