The given buffer solution is 0.020 M HF and 0.040 M NaF.

Given the K_{a} of HF is 3.5 * 10^{-4}

Finding out pK_{a}:

pK_{a} = -logK_{a}

= - log(3.5 * 10^{-4})

= 3.46

We use the Hendersen-Hasselbalch equation to find out the pH of a buffer solution:

pH = pK_{a} + log\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}

[Base] =[NaF] = 0.040 M

[Acid] = [HF] =0.020 M

Plugging in the values to find out pH,

pH = 3.46 + log\frac{0.040}{0.020}

pH = 3.46 + log(2)

= 3.76

Therefore, pH of the buffer is 3.76

 <span>pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid]) = -log (3.5 x 10^-4) + log (0.040/.020) = 3.46 - 0.30 = 3.16</span>

How many moles of calcium hydroxide, ca(oh)2, are needed to neutralize 2 moles of sulfuric acid, h2so4?
Ronch [10]
The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows 
Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ ---> CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to H₂SO₄ is 1:1
equivalent number of acid reacts with base
number of H₂SO₄ mol reacting - 2 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:1
number of Ca(OH)₂ mol = number of H₂SO₄ moles 
therefore number of Ca(OH)₂ moles required - 2 mol

In which cell structure does MOST of the process of cellular respiration take place?
ahrayia [7]

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles are basically considered the power producers of the cell, it converts oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate or ATP, which is the chemical energy,also known as "currency" of the cell which powers the metabolic actions of the cell. This process is called aerobic respiration and it is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Cellular repiration happens in the mitochodrion. The 3 phases of cellular respiration are Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport and Glycolysis (Fermentation). Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle and electron transport take place in the mitochondria.
