Explanation / Answer

Ka at equillibrium = [H+] [F-] / [HF]

Let x M of H+ and F- is present at the equillibrium , so putting all the values we get :

= 3.5 x 10-4= (x) (x) / (0.013 - x)

= (0.0455 * 10-4) - (3.5x * 10-4) = x2

= x2 + (3.5x*10-4) - (0.0455 *10-4) = 0

x = 0.00196

pH = -log [H+]

pH = -log(0.00196)

= 2.7
