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>

1. Based on the observed performance of the air bag models and the amounts of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid (vinegar) neede
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags since the require more mass and produce less gas.

<h3>Which is the better chemical for an airbag?</h3>

The chemical equation for the production of nitrogen gas from sodium azide is given below:

  • NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

1 mole or 66 go of sodium azide produces 3 moles or 67.2 L of nitrogen gas.

The equation for the production of carbon dioxide from sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given below:

  • Na₂CO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + CO₂ + H₂O

1 mole, 106 g of Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole, 82 g of CH₃COOH are required to produce 1 mole or 22.4 L of CO₂.

The mass of sodium azide required is less than that of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid required. Also, sodium azide produces a greater volume of gas. Therefore, sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags.

In conclusion, sodium azide is a better choice in airbags.

Describe how a covalent bond can involve a sharing of the electrons, but still develop charges on the atoms
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outermost (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.
