only question (b)
If 0.50 L 0.20 M HF solution is mixed with solution A to make a mixed solution with a total
volume of 1.00 L. Kw = 1.00x10-14; Ka(HF) = 6.6x10-4 at T=298K.
(a) If solution A is 0.50 L 0.20 M HNO3, calculate the pH of the mixed solution.
Ka(HNO3) = 100
(b) If solution A is 0.50 L 0.20 M NH4CI, calculate the pH of the mixed solution.
Ko(NH3) = 1.8×10-5
%3D
(c) If solution A is 0.50 L 0.20 M HNO2, calculate the pH of the mixed solution.
Ka(HNO2) = 5.1×104
Hint: First list an equation that shows electrical neutrality in the solution. Also, neglect the [H*]
contribution from water. Then use [H*] and the equilibrium constant(s) to express the anion
concentrations in the equation you obtained for electrical neutrality, and you will find there is
single unknown [H*] in the equation.
