How many grams of solid sodium fluoride should be added to 0.500 L of a 9.49x10-2 M hydrofluoric acid solution to prepare a buffer with a pH of 2.277 ? grams sodium fluoride = g.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![**Buffer Preparation Problem**
**Objective:**
Calculate the grams of solid sodium fluoride to add to a solution.
**Problem Statement:**
How many grams of solid **sodium fluoride** should be added to 0.500 L of a \(9.49 \times 10^{-2}\) M hydrofluoric acid solution to prepare a buffer with a pH of 2.277?
**Calculation:**
- Volume of hydrofluoric acid solution: 0.500 L
- Concentration of hydrofluoric acid: \(9.49 \times 10^{-2}\) M
- Desired pH of the buffer: 2.277
**Input Box:**
- Grams sodium fluoride = [______] g
**Note:**
This problem involves understanding concepts of buffer solutions and using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to determine the amount of sodium fluoride needed.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa59a73bf-87c2-48f6-829d-0178c9223cc0%2Ff5def8c5-4d7a-4e33-9245-59761bf9afee%2Fn98tj6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
