<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.

What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about the atom?​
VLD [36.1K]

The alpha particles that were fired at the gold foil were positively charged. ... These experiments led Rutherford to describe the atom as containing mostly empty space, with a very small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom, with the electrons orbiting the nucleus.

Does density depend on the amount of substance that you have? Explain your answer.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Density depends on the amount of the substance you have, as the mass will increase, but also what the volume is because if you have a high mass object with an extremely high volume, it won't be very dense. But if you have a high mass object with a low volume, it will be very dense.

Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?
shepuryov [24]
If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.
