You are asked to prepare a pH = 3.00 buffer solution starting from 1.25 L of a 1.00 M solution of hydrofluoric acid (HF) and any amount you need of sodium fluoride (NaF).
a. What is the pH of the hydrofluoric acid solution prior to adding sodium fluoride?
b. How many grams of sodium fluoride should be added to prepare the buffer solution? Neglect the small volume change that occurs when the sodium fluoride is added.

- 7. Describe a buffered solution. Give three examples of buffered solutions. For each of your examples, write equations and explain how the components of the buffered solution consume added strong acids or bases. Why is buffering of solutions in biological systems so important?arrow_forwardA 5.36-g sample of NH4Cl was added to 25.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH and the resulting solution diluted to 0.100 L..

In carrying out a titration of a potassium hydroxide solution with a standard hydrochloric acid solution, a student misread the volume on the burette. That is, the actual volume recorded was smaller than the volume required to reach the end point. How will this error affect the calculated concentration of the potassium hydroxide solution? The calculated concentration will be larger than the actual concentration. b. The calculated concentration will be smaller than the actual concentration. The calculated concentration will be the correct concentration. а. с. d. There is no way to determine how this error will affect the calculation. The calculated concentration will be the actual concentration. е.arrow_forwardWhich of the following additions will result in a decrease in the pH of the solution?
