When titrating a NaF(aq) solution with HCl(aq), the equivalence point will occur at a pH value ______ .

a) above 7 because it is determined by NaF(aq)
b) below 7 because HCl(aq) is a strong acid
c) below 7 because it is determined by HF(aq)
d) at 7 because it is determined by H2O(l)

Respuesta :

At the equivalence point, the NaF completely reacts with the HCl

The correct option that gives the equivalence point when titrating NaF solution with HCl(aq), occur at a pH value is option c);

c) Below 7 because it is determined by HF (aq)

Reason:

The ionic equation of the reaction taking place in the titration is presented as follows;

  • NaF + HCl → HF + NaCl
  • Na⁺ (aq) + F⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → HF (aq)+ Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Therefore, by removing the spectator ions, we get;

  • F⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → HF(aq)

Therefore;

The net ionic equation is the formation of hydrofluoric acid, HF, which is a

weak acid, therefore, the pH value will be below 7 because it is determined

by HF
