What determine the strength of acid?

For normal acids, pH is most accurate. For hydrofluoric acid, pH is NOT a good indicator--a 1-percent HF solution has a lower pH than a 50-percent solution does, and a 10-percent HF solution has the highest pH of all. The range is from 3.1 (for a 1-percent solution) to 4.5 (for a 10-percent solution). HF is considered a weak acid--not all the HF molecules dissociate when the HF gas is put into water--but it's the most corrosive acid around.

What is the pH of 0.89 M NaF?

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)

copied-in question and answer


Why is KSCN neutral while NaF is basic despite the fact that HSCN is a weaker acid than HF?

HSCN is not a weaker acid than HF. The Ka for HSCN is approximately 1.2x10^-1 and that for HF is approximately 7x10^-4, making HSCN considerably stronger than HF. In fact, a solution of KSCN would have a pH very slightly above 7.0, but close to neutral because it is almost a strong acid. A solution of NaF will have a pH that is basic because it is the salt of a strong base and a weak acid.


A solution of HF has a pH of 5.5 What is the pOH of this solution?

pH + pOH = 145.3 + pOH = 14pOH = 14 - 5.3pOH = 8.7
