The pH of 0.5 m aqueous solution of HF ( Ka=2×10-⁴) is

Answered by admin @



Answer: pH = 2

Explanation:

HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-

I     0.5             0      0

E  0.5-0.5\alpha  0.5\alpha 0.5\alpha

K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}

2\times 10^{-4}=\frac{[0.5\alpha][0.5\alpha]}{[0.5-0.5\alpha]}

\alpha=2\times 10^{-2}

[H^+]=0.5\alpha=0.5\times 2\times 10^{-2}=10^{-2}

pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[10^{-2}]=2
