Equilibrium Question 741

Question: If $ pK_{b} $ A for fluoride ion at $ 25{}^\circ C $ is 10.83, (he ionization constant of hydrofluoric acid in water at this temperature is

Options:

A) $ 1.74\times {10^{-5}} $

B) $ 3.52\times {10^{-3}} $

C) $ 6.75\times {10^{-4}} $

D) $ 5.38\times {10^{-2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ HF+H_2O\rightarrow {F^{-}}+H_3{O^{+}} $

$ K_{a}\times K_{b}=K_{w} $

$ pK_{a}+pK_{b}=pK_{w} $

$ pK_{a}=14-10.83\Rightarrow pK_{a}=3.17 $

$ K_{a}=6.75\times {10^{-4}} $
