Question

Calculate the pH of a 0.30 M NaF solution. The Ka value for HF is 7.2*10^-4

Answer 1

we are given with the equilibrium constant of acid, HF and is asked to calculate the pH of 0.30 M NaF solution. The formula to be followed is 
Ka = [H+][F-]/[HF]Ka = 7.2 x 10 -4 = x^2/[0.3-x]x = [H+]= pH = -log (H+) = 1.84
