Question
Question 5 (1 point)
Equimolar quantities of potassium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid are placed into
solution. The equilibrium established is as follows:
HF(aq) + H2O(l) | <--> F˜(aq) + H¸O*(aq)
What happens to the above equilibrium if some acetic acid is added to the solution?
Acetic acid ionizes so pH significantly increases.
Acetic acid isn't in the equilbrium equation so it will have no effect on the pH of
the solution.
The acetic acid creates more hydronium ion so the equlibrium shifts left and pH
is not changed significantly.
The acetic acid creates more hydronium ion so the reaction shifts right and pH
is not changed significantly.
