when the reaction equation is:
HF ↔ H+ + F-
and when the Ka expression
= concentration of products/concentration of reactions
so, Ka = [H+][F-]/[HF]
when we assume:
[H+] = [F-] = X
and [HF] = 0.35 - X
So, by substitution:
6.8 x 10^-4 = X^2 / (0.35 - X) by solving for X
∴ X = 0.015 M
∴[H+] = X = 0.015
when PH = -㏒[H+]
∴PH = -㏒0.015
= 1.8
