HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.
In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.
pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.
If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.
Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.
Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.
Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.
Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

In order to find the molarity of the solution, we first require the moles of acetic acid added. For this,we need the mass which is:
Mass = volume * density
Mass = 50 * 1.05
Mass = 52.5 grams
Moles = mass / molecular weight
Moles = 52.5 / 60.05
Moles = 0.874 mol
Next, we know that the molarity of a solution is:
Molarity = moles / liter
Molarity = 0.874 / 0.5
Molarity = 1.75 M
What does matter mean?
