Explanation / Answer

1)

mol(NaOH) = M(NaOH) * V(NaOH)

mol(NaOH) = 0.1211 M * 37.12 mL = 4.4952 mmol

At. equivalence point, equal mol of both acid and base would have reacted.

We have:

mol(HF) = 4.4952 mmol

mol(NaOH) = 4.4952 mmol

4.4952 mmol of both will react to form F- and H2O

F- here is strong base

F- formed = 4.4952 mmol

Volume of Solution = 37.12 + 37.12 = 74.24 mL

Kb of F- = Kw/Ka = 1*10^-14/7.1*10^-4 = 1.408*10^-11

concentration ofF-,c = 4.4952 mmol/74.24 mL = 0.0605M

F- dissociates as

F- + H2O -----> HF + OH-

0.0605 0 0

0.0605-x x x

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

Kb = x*x/(c-x)

Assuming x can be ignored as compared to c

So, above expression becomes

Kb = x*x/(c)

so, x = sqrt (Kb*c)

x = sqrt ((1.408*10^-11)*6.055*10^-2) = 9.235*10^-7

since c is much greater than x, our assumption is correct

so, x = 9.235*10^-7 M

[OH-] = x = 9.235*10^-7 M

use:

pOH = -log [OH-]

= -log (9.235*10^-7)

= 6.0346

use:

PH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - 6.0346

= 7.9654
