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>

Jamal is working with three ionic compounds: sodium chloride, calcium sulfide, and barium oxide. His teacher asks him which are
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

option A is correct  ( sodium, calcium and barium)

Explanation:

Given compounds:

Sodium chloride , calcium sulfide, barium oxide

We know that metals form positive ions. In order to solve the problem we must identify the metals from given compounds.

Na⁺Cl⁻

Ca²⁺S²⁻

Ba²⁺O²⁻

We can see that sodium, calcium and barium contain positive charges.

Thus option A is correct.

Because sodium have one valance electron. When it combine with chlorine sodium lose its one electron to complete the octet and chlorine accept it to complete its octet. Thus sodium form positive ion and chlorine form negative ion.

Similarly barium and calcium are present in group 2. Both have two valance electron. When they lose them cation are formed.

Other option are incorrect because,

Option B have sulfur and oxygen which are anion.

Option C have chlorine which is also anion

Option D have chlorine, sulfur and oxygen that are anions.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1, just I) color.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties that can be observed without changing the composition of a substance, such as color, temperature, density, and boiling point.

A physical change is a change in the substance that only modifies its aggregation state, such as solidification, and boiling.

Chemical properties are the properties that need a reaction to being observed, such as the combustibility, which needs a combustion reaction to being quantified.

When a chemical reaction occurs, and the composition of the substance change, it's a chemical change.

So, the heating copper with carbon is a chemical reaction, and purification by electrolysis is too. Color is the only physical property.
