Question

The hydrolysis equilibrium constant (Kb) for F- is 1.47E-11 (eq. 1). (Kw=10^-14)

(eq. 1): F-(aq) + H2O(l) = OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

Calculate the value of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for HF as shown in the reaction (eq. 2).

(eq. 2): HF(aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + F-(aq)

The hydrolysis equilibrium constant (Kb) for F- is 1.47E-11 (eq. 1). (Kw=10^-14)

(eq. 1): F-(aq) + H2O(l) = OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

Calculate the value of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for HF as shown in the reaction (eq. 2).

(eq. 2): HF(aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + F-(aq)

Explanation / Answer

Q1.

find KA for HF

Kw = Ka*KB

(10^-14) = (Ka)(1.47*10^-11)

Ka = (10^-14) /(1.47*10^-11)

Ka= 68027*10^-4
