Calculate the mass of NaF that must be added to 300ml if a 0.25m HF solution to form a buffer solution with a ph of 3.5​

Answer:

6.574 g NaF into 300ml (0.25M HF) => Bfr with pH ~3.5

Explanation:

For buffer solution to have a pH-value of 3.5 the hydronium ion concentration [H⁺] must be 3.16 x 10⁻⁴M ( => [H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10⁻³°⁵ =3.16 x 10⁻⁴M).

Addition of NaF to 300ml of 0.25M HF gives a buffer solution. To determine mass of NaF needed use common ion analysis for HF/NaF and calculate molarity of NaF, then moles in 300ml the x formula wt => mass needed for 3.5 pH.

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻; Ka = 6.6 x 10⁻⁴

Ka = [H⁺][F⁻]/[HF] = 6.6 x 10⁻⁴ = (3.16 x 10⁻⁴)[F⁻]/0.25 => [F⁻] = (6.6 x 10⁻⁴)(0.25)/(3.16x10⁻⁴) = 5.218M in F⁻ needed ( = NaF needed).

For the 300ml buffer solution, moles of NaF needed = Molarity x Volume(L)

= (5.218M)(0.300L) = 0.157 mole NaF needed x 42 g/mole = 6.574 g NaF needed.

Check using the Henderson - Hasselbalch Equation...

pH = pKa + log ([Base]/[Acid]); pKa (HF) = 3.18

Molarity of NaF = (6.572g/42g/mole)/(0.300 L soln) = 0.572M in NaF = 0.572M in F⁻.

pH = 3.18 + log ([0.572]/[0.25]) ≅ 3.5.

One can also back calculate through the Henderson -Hasselbalch Equation to determine base concentration, moles NaF then grams NaF.

Use the helium-4 isotope to define atomic number and mass number. why does knowledge of atomic number enable us to deduce the nu
Nuetrik [128]
Helium - 4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Its atomic number is 2 (the number of protons). Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of an element and it identifies the element. All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (same number of protons). So, all the isotopes of hellium have 2 protons.

The number 4 that identifies the helium - 4 isotope is the mass number, i.e. the number of protons plus the number of neutron. So, helium-4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. While, other isotopes of helium have 2 protons but different number of neutrons.

The atomic number enable us to deduce the number of electrons in an atom because the atoms are neutral, which implies that the positive and negative charge are equal. Given that the magnitude of the charge of electons and protons are equal but the sign is opposed (protons are positve and electrons are negative) the number of electrons in the atom equals the number of protonts. That is why the atomic number is also the number of electrons of the atom.

Which statement best describes a solution? A). a mixture consisting of minute particles suspended in a medium that start moving
makvit [3.9K]
The statement that best describes a solution is the option C: a mixture having a uniform composition where the components cannot be seen separately and all components are in the same state.<span> That is exactly what a solution is: a homogeneous mixture, the composition is uniform, but it can vary from one solution to other. The components must be in the safe phase, but it can be any phase: solid, liquid or gas. The most classical and clear example is the salt solution, NaCl. When you dissolve a spoon of NaCl in water you will not be able to distinguish nor separating the solute from the solvent, and the mixture will have uniform composition.</span>

What is the molar mass of CH4 (C=12.011 amu H = 1.008 amu)
never [62]

Answer:

16.05 amu

Explanation:

12.011 rounds to about 12.01 and 1.008 rounds to about 1.01 so when adding you'd do [12.01 + (1.01×4)]= 16.05
