a) Calculate the pH of this solution.
Calculate the of \ce{HF}.
The acid dissociation constant () for \ce{HF} is given as .
Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the pH.
The solution contains a weak acid (\ce{HF}) and its conjugate base (\ce{F-}, from \ce{NaF}). This is a buffer solution.
Given concentrations: and .The pH of the solution is:
Part 23.28
b) Calculate the pH of the solution after 0.050 mol of \ce{HCl} is added to it. (Assume no change in volume.)
Calculate initial moles of \ce{HF} and \ce{F-}.
The initial volume of the solution is 1.00 L.
Moles of \ce{HF} =
Moles of \ce{F-} =Determine the reaction with added \ce{HCl}.
When 0.050 mol of \ce{HCl} (a strong acid) is added, it reacts with the conjugate base (\ce{F-}).
Initial moles: , ,
Change: reacts with , so decreases by , decreases by , and increases by .
After reaction:
Moles of \ce{F-} =
Moles of \ce{HF} =Calculate the new concentrations.
Since the volume remains 1.00 L:
Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the new pH.
The for \ce{HF} is 3.46 (calculated in part a).
The pH of the solution after adding \ce{HCl} is:
Part 3· 2 steps
c) Calculate the pH of the solution after 0.050 mol of \ce{NaOH} is added to it. (Assume no change in volume.)
Calculate initial moles of \ce{HF} and \ce{F-}.
The initial volume of the solution is 1.00 L.
Moles of \ce{HF} =
Moles of \ce{F-} =Determine the reaction with added \ce{NaOH}.
When 0.050 mol of \ce{NaOH} (a strong base) is added, it reacts with the weak acid (\ce{HF}).
Initial moles: , , $\ce{F-} = 0.250\
