- When sodium fluoride (NaF) is added to an HF solution, what happens to the pH of the solution and why? (A) The pH will not change because NaF is an ionic compound that is neither acid nor base. (B) The pH will decrease because F– absorbs H+ and decreasing the H3O+(aq) concentration. (C) The pH will increase because F– absorbs H+ and decreasing the H3O+(aq) concentration. (D) The pH will not change because NaF is a neutral compound.arrow_forwardGiven that Ka’s for hydrofluoric acid (HF) and boric acid (H3BO3) are 6.3 × 10^–4 and 5.4 × 10^–10, respectively, calculate the pH of the following solutions: (a) The mixture from adding 50 mL 0.2 M HF to 50 mL 0.5 M sodium borate (NaH2BO3). (b) The mixture from adding an additional 150 mL 0.2 M HF to the solution in (a), i.e., a total of 200 mL 0.2 M HF was added to 50 mL 0.5 M NaH2BO3.arrow_forward650.0 mL of HBr gas at 21.0 °C and 1025 mm Hg is absorbed completely into a solution that was created by mixing 7.147 g of Na2CO3 and 250.0 g of water.

- The pH reading of a sample of each substance is given. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance. (Give your answers in scientific notation, correct to one decimal place.) (a) Vinegar: pH = 3 %3D [H+] = x 10 M (b) Crackers: pH = 7.2 %3D [H+] = x 10 M (p ツarrow_forwardYou are given two glasses of water that have different temperatures. The temperature of the first glass is at 298 K, while the second glass has a temperature of 303 K. It has been determined that the Kw value for the second glass of water is 1.47 x 10-¹4. Which of the following statements is true? (a) The pH of the room temperature glass is higher, but both glasses have the same acidity. (b) The room temperature glass of water has a higher pH, and is more basic than the other glass of water. (c) Both glasses of water are neutral, so both will have a pH of 7.00. (d) The room temperature water has a lower pH, so is more acidic. (e) The warmer glass of water has a lower pH, and is more acidic than the other glass of water.arrow_forwardMethanoic acid is also called formic acid. It has the chemical formula HCOOH(l). It is a colourless fuming liquid that is mainly used as a preservative. It exhibits the following equilibrium in water:HCOOH(aq) + H2O(l) → HCOO–(aq) + H3O+(aq) 3) A 35.0 mL sample of (monoprotic) lactic acid, C3H6O3, is titrated with 20.0 mL of a 4.0 x 10-4 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution. What is the pH of the resulting solution at the equivalence point, if Ka for lactic acid is 1.4 x 10-4? PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY URGENTarrow_forward
