Molodets [167]3 years ago

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

Why do lungfish walk on land?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The new findings support the theory that walking first arose underwater, preceding the move onto land and the development of toes and limbs adapted to land perambulation.

Give the reason for the evaporation of the solution to dryness with 6 m hcl in the first procedure of the copper-arsenic group a
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>
Evaporation occurred between the reaction of the hydrochloric acid and the arsenic group because there is a formation of gas. A liquid is cooled if condensation exceeds evaporation. This is because the cooling of the liquid decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Their movement is being restricted by the colder temperature. The molecules tend to be closer with each other. Also, because of their restricted movement, the liquid may turn into solid due the colder temperature. An example of this is the cooling of liquid water by placing it into the refrigerator into solid water (ice).</span>

<h3>What is common name of NaOH?</h3>

The common name of NaOH is sodium hydroxide. Lye and caustic soda are other names for sodium hydroxide, an inorganic substance having the formula NaOH. It is a white, solid ionic substance made up of the cations sodium (Na+) and the anions hydroxide (OH). Sodium hydroxide is a chemical that manufacturers utilize to make things like soap, rayon, paper, explosives, colors, and petroleum products. Processing cotton fabrics, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extraction are further uses for sodium hydroxide. A caustic metallic base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sometimes referred to as lye or caustic soda. Caustic soda, an alkali, is commonly employed in a variety of sectors, primarily as a potent chemical base in the production of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, and detergents.

What are the roles of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers for the trophic levels in the energy
Nesterboy [21]
     This question is more for Biology than Chemistry, but the role of producers is to make energy (food) to be consumed. In a pyramid diagram, the producers would be at the bottom. Now going up the pyramid, the primary conumers are the first to consume producers and obtain energy from them. As you go up the pyramid, the secondary consumers will consume the primary consumers as a way to obtain energy, and the same goes for tertiary consumers towards secondaries.

As you go up the energy pyramid, you will notice a trend that there is less energy being obtained from each consumer. In other words, the producers will ALWAYS have more energy than the tertiary consumers.

I hope this answers your question.
