Explanation / Answer

B)

Q4.

for equivalence point

mmol of acid = mmol of base

mmol = M*V

so

Macid*Vacid = Mbase*Vbase

0.1*40 = 0.2*Vbase

Vbase = 0.1*40/0.2 = 20 mL

Q5.

since the volume is LESS than that of the equivalence point, then:

we will have a buffer solution, since NaOH converts ssome weak acid into conjugate base, so it is a buffer

Q6

the pH , apply henderson haselbach equations

pH = pKa + log(F-/HF)

pKa = 3.41

so

mmol of NAOH = MV = 10*0.2 = 20

mmol of HF = MV = 400.1 = 40

after reaction

mmol of F- = 0 + 20

mmol o fHF = 40-20 = 20

pH = 3.14+ log(20/20) = 3.14

pH = 3.14

Q7

in equivalence point, there will be

HF + NaOH = NaF + H2O

and NAF --> Na+ + F-

so

F- hydrolysis:

F- + H2O <-> HF + OH-

then, it is slightly basic solution

since F- is a weak base

Q8

pH in equivalence point:

choose betwee 8.14 and 9.11

so:

Kb = [HF][OH-]/[F-]

Kb = (10^-14 ) / (10^-3.14) = 1.3803*10^-11

find concentration of F-:

F- = M1*V1 / Vtotal = (40*0.1)/(40+20) = 0.0666

1.3803*10^-11 = x*x/(0.0666-x)

[OH-] = x= 9.54*10^-7

pOH = -log( 9.54*10^-7) = 6.02

pH = 14-6 = 8 approx

choose D
