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..

- Equimolar quantities of potassium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid are placed into solution. What happens to the buffer system if some hydrochloric acid is added to the solution? The hydrochloric acid reacts with the fluoride ions so the pH decreases only slightly. The hydrochloric acid reacts with the fluoride ions so the pH decreases significantly. ) The hydrochloric acid reacts with the hydrofluoric acid so the pH increases only slightly. The hydrochloric acid reacts with the hydrofluoric acid so the pH increases significantly.arrow_forwardA solution is prepared that is initially 0.12M in hydrofluoric acid (HF) and 0.061 M in sodium fluoride (NaF).
