<u>Answer:</u> The unknown salt is NaF
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles
Volume of solution = 0.500 L
Putting values in above equation, we get:

- To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:
pH + pOH = 14
We are given:
pH = 8.08

- To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:
![pOH=-\log[OH^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%5BOH%5E-%5D)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![5.92=-\log[OH^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5.92%3D-%5Clog%5BOH%5E-%5D)
![[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D10%5E%7B-5.92%7D%3D1.202%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-6%7DM)
The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH
The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of
ions follows:

<u>Initial:</u> 0.1
<u>At eqllm:</u> 0.1-x x x
Concentration of 
The expression of
for above equation follows:
![K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BOH%5E-%5D%5BHX%5D%7D%7B%5BX%5E-%5D%7D)
Putting values in above expression, we get:

- To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:

where,
= Ionic product of water = 
= Acid dissociation constant
= Base dissociation constant = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:

We know that:



So, the calculated
is approximately equal to the
of HF
Hence, the unknown salt is NaF
