Hydrogen fluoride is a weak acid that dissociates based on the following equation:
 
             HF (aq)     +     H2O (l)     reversible arrow     F- (aq)     +     H3O+ (aq)
 
The Ka for HF is 7.2 x 10-4

Due:

Assignment

  • Review your class notes and lab practice on salt hydrolysis to complete questions 111-112 on pages 676-677.  Note that salts of weak acid and weak base are hard to predict; however, you can use the Ka and Kb values to make the determination.  The tables are in your textbook appendix.  Table 14.5 on page 659 is another important resource: if Ka>Kb then the solution is acidic; Kb>Ka then solution is basic.  What do you think is true when Ka=Kb?

This homework pertains to the integrated rate late that we learned in the last part of the period Friday.  Review your notes and section 12.4 if you need to for the homework.  Look at questions 31, 33, 36, and 37 on pages 569-570.  All of them have data tables.  Instead of answering the questions as they are written, do the following:
  • graph the data concentration vs time (pressure vs time for 36)
  • based on the graph, is the reaction zero order? yes or no
  • If the reaction is not zero order, then plot natural log of the concentration vs time.  Is the reaction first order? yes or no.
  • If the reaction is not first order, then it must be second order, but plot 1/concentration vs time to confirm this.
  • For each question write the correct rate law and integrated rate law.
  • For each question solve for "k"
