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
