The question is incomplete , complete question is:

Hydrofluoric acid and water react to form fluoride anion and hydronium cation, like this:

[tex]HF(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow F^-(aq)+H_3O^+(aq) [/tex]

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a reaction vessel 5.6 L containing an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid, water, fluoride anion, and hydronium cation at equilibrium has the following composition: compound amount

[tex]HF[/tex]  = 1.62 g

[tex]H_2O[/tex] = 516 g

[tex]F^-[/tex] = 0.163 g

[tex]H_3O^+[/tex] = 0.110 g

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:

The value of equilibrium constant of the reaction is [tex]1.095\times 10^{-4}[/tex].

Explanation:

[tex]F^-(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons HF(aq)+H_2O(l)[/tex]

[tex]Concentration =\frac{n}{V}[/tex]

Where :

n = moles of compound

V = Volume of the solution L

Moles of HF = [tex]\frac{1.62 g}{20 g/mol}=0.081 mol[/tex]

Volume of the solution in the vessel = V = 5.6 L

[tex][HF]=\frac{0.081 mol}{5.6 L}=0.01446 M[/tex]

Moles of [tex]F^-\frac{0.163 g}{19g/mol}=0.008579 mol[/tex]

Volume of the solution in the vessel = V = 5.6 L

[tex][F^-]=\frac{0.008579 mol}{5.6 L}=0.001532 M[/tex]

Moles of [tex]H_3O^+=\frac{0.110 g}{19 g/mol}=0.05789 mol[/tex]

Volume of the solution in the vessel = V = 5.6 L

[tex][H_3O^+]=\frac{0.05789 mol}{5.6 L}=0.001034 M[/tex]

An equilibrium expression is given as;

[tex]K_c=\frac{[F^-][H_3O^+]}{[HF]}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.001532 M\times 0.001034 M}{0.01446 M}[/tex]

[tex]K_c=0.0001095=1.095\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

The value of equilibrium constant of the reaction is [tex]1.095\times 10^{-4}[/tex].
