Answer:

Ratio of NaF to HF required to create a buffer with pH=4.15 is 8.13

Explanation:

HF is an weak acid and NaF is a strong electrolyte containing F^{-} (Conjugate base of HF)

Hence mixture of NaF and HF creates a buffer systems.

Applying Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to this buffer system-

pH=pK_{a}\left ( HF \right )+log(\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]})

Here, species inside third bracket represents their concentrations.

It is given that pH of buffer is 4.05 and literature value suggests pK_{a} of HF is 3.14

Plug-in these two values in the above equation-

4.05=3.14+log\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}

\Rightarrow \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}=8.13

As 1 molecule of NaF contains 1 molecule of F^{-} therefore \frac{[NaF]}{[HF]}=8.13

PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula: 
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case. 

By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4 
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>

<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>

4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF] 

log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89

How many moles of \ce{Fe2O3}FeX 2 ​ OX 3 ​ will be produced from 27.0 \text{ g}27.0 g27, point, 0, start text, space, g, end tex
ira [324]

Answer : The number of moles of Fe_2O_3  produced will be, 0.241 moles.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Fe = 27.0 g

Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Fe.

\text{ Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Fe}{\text{ Molar mass of }Fe}=\frac{27.0g}{56g/mole}=0.482moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe_2O_3

The balanced chemical reaction is,

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 4 mole of Fe react to give 2 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 0.482 moles of Fe react to give \frac{0.482}{4}\times 2=0.241 moles of Fe_2O_3

Thus, the number of moles of Fe_2O_3  produced will be, 0.241 moles.

Mercury has a mass density of 13.54 g/ml . how many milliliters would 100. grams occupy
frosja888 [35]
<span>7.39 ml For this problem, simply divide the mass of mercury you have by it's density. 100 g / 13.54 g/ml = 7.3855 ml Since we only have 3 significant digits in 100., you need to round the result to 3 significant digits. So 7.3855 ml = 7.39 ml</span>
