First recognize that NaF is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid (HF), so the pH will be alkaline. Next, look at the hydrolysis of NaF: NaF + H2O ---> NaOH + HF, or looking at it another way.... F^- + H2O ---> HF + OH- and here F^- acts as a base, so we need the Kb for NaF and that will be the inverse of the Ka for HF. The Ka for HF is 6.6x10^-4, so Kb = 1x10^-14/6.6x10^-4 = 1.5x10^-11.
Now, Kb = [HF][OH-]/[F-] = (x)(x)/(0.89) = 1.5x10^-11
x^2 = 1.3x10^-11
x = 3.6x10^-6 = [OH-]
pOH = -log 3.6x10^-6 = 5.44
pH = 8.6 (note the pH is alkaline, as expected)

NaCH3COO or sodium acetate
- log(1 X 10^-5 M) = 5 14 - 5 = 9 pH ----------
Yes, 0.1 M HCl has pH value of 1.0, 1.0 M HCl has pH value of 0.0, 10.0 M pH = -1.0 (even negative is possible, but this is about the limit)
No, pH 2.77 is not the correct pH for 1 M HCl. The pH of 1 M HCl should be 0 (zero) because pH is the negative log the the H+ and for 1 M HCl the [H+] is 1 M, and the negative log of 1 is 0.
the pH increases
4.25 L of a 0.25 M solution of NaF contain 1,062 moles sodium fluoride.

3. since the [H+]=0.001 M then pH= -log[H+] -log(0.001)=3 pH=3.
-log(0.1 M) = 1 pH
- log(0.001 M NH4Cl) = 3 pH =====
pH=1
-log(0.5 M HF) = 0.3 pH
- log(0.12 M) = 0.92 pH ---------------
- log(0.000626 M H2SO4) = 3.2 pH -----------
- log(0.00450 M HCl)= 2.3 pH=======
NaF stands for sodium fluoride.
