The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? (K_a for HF is 6.8\times 10^{-4}.)

[HF] = 0.280 M

Express your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Explanation:3

Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M

Dissociation constant of the HF = K_a=6.8\times 10^{-4}

HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-

Initially

c          0            0

At equilibrium :

(c-x)      x             x

The expression of disassociation constant is given as:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}

K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}

6.8\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{(0.280 M-x)}

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.01346 M

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :

[H^+]=x=0.01346 M

The pH of the solution is ;

pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

A sound wave is traveling at 331 m/s and has a frequency of 126 Hz. What is the wavelength?​
damaskus [11]
<h2>Answer</h2>

2.626984127 m

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

You have to know the equation that relates wavelength, frequency, and velocity (it's like speed but a bit different).

v = f x λ

where:

v = velocity

f = frequency

λ = Wavelength

Rearrange to make λ subject:

λ = v / f

We've been given 331 as the speed, 126 as the frequency. Sub it into the equation:

331 / 126 = 2.626984127 m

Find the linear function Cequals​f(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the
padilas [110]

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b            (1)

100 = 212 a + b       (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40
