<h3>Answer</h3>

HF

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A buffer solution contains <em>a weak acid</em> and<em> its conjugate base</em>. The two species shall have a similar concentration in the solution. It's also possible for <em>a weak base</em> and <em>its conjugate acid</em> to form a buffer solution.

The KF solution already contains large number of \text{F}^{-} ions. The objective is to thus find its conjugate acid or base.

\text{F}^{-} contains no proton \text{H}^{+} and is unlikely to be a conjugate acid. Assuming that \text{F}^{-} is a conjugate base. Adding one proton to \text{F}^{-} would produce its conjugate acid.

\text{H}^{+} \; (aq) + \text{F}^{-} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{HF}\; (aq)

Therefore \text{HF} is the conjugate acid of \text{F}^{-}. \text{HF} happens to be a weak acid. As a result, combining \text{F}^{-} with \text{HF} would produce a solution with large number of both the weak acid and its conjugate base, which is a buffer solution by definition.

Sulfur is a nonmetalic mineral that has a density of 2 g/cm3. The volume of a sample of sulfur was measured to be 5.0 cm3. what
taurus [48]

Answer:

<h2>10 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question we have

mass = 2 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 g</h3>
