the answer is H is the cation
Explanation :
The general formula of an acid is represented as, in which 'H' is hydrogen cation and 'X' is a non-metal or a poly-atomic anion.
For example : etc.
All the acids produces hydrogen ion, in an aqueous solution while the base produces hydroxide ion, in an aqueous solution.
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? (
for HF is 
.)
[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 = 
Initially
c 0 0
At equilibrium :
(c-x) x x
The expression of disassociation constant is given as:
![K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BF%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHF%5D%7D)
Solving for x, we get:
x = 0.01346 M
So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :
![[H^+]=x=0.01346 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3Dx%3D0.01346%20M)
The pH of the solution is ;
![pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D-%5Clog%5B0.01346%20M%5D%3D1.87)
The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.
Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.
