The answer to this question is a
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Calculate the mass of each element
2. Calculate the moles of each element
3. Calculate the molar ratios
Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.
4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer
C:H = 1:2
5. Write the empirical formula
The empirical formula is
Answer:If we dissolve NaF in water, we get the following equilibrium:
text{F}^-(aq)+text{H}_2text{O}(l) rightleftarrows text{HF}(aq)+text{OH}^-(aq)
The pH of the resulting solution can be determined if the K_b of the fluoride ion is known.
20.0 g of sodium fluoride is dissolve in enough water to make 500.0 mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. The K_b of the fluoride ion is 1.4 × 10 −11 .
Step 1: List the known values and plan the problem.
Known
mass NaF = 20.0 g
molar mass NaF = 41.99 g/mol
volume solution = 0.500 L
K_b of F – = 1.4 × 10 −11
Unknown
pH of solution = ?
The molarity of the F − solution can be calculated from the mass, molar mass, and solution volume. Since NaF completely dissociates, the molarity of the NaF is equal to the molarity of the F − ion. An ICE Table (below) can be used to calculate the concentration of OH − produced and then the pH of the solution.
