Which of the following solutions would be least acidic? Assume all of the acids are the same concentration and at 25°C. The acid is followed by its Ka. a) Hydrofluoric acid, 3.5. 10-4
b) Hydrocyanic acid, 4.9. 10-10
c) Nitrous acid, 4.6. 10-4
d) Unable to be determined by Ka

Option (b) Hydrocyanic acid, 4.9×10^-10

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Ka of Hydrofluoric acid = 3.5×10^-4

Ka of Hydrocyanic acid = 4.9×10^-10

Ka of Nitrous acid = 4.6×10^-4

To know which acid is least acidic, we shall determine the the pKa value for each acid.

This is illustrated below:

For Hydrofluoric acid

Ka = 3.5×10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –Log Ka

pKa = –Log 3.5×10^-4

pKa = 3.5

For Hydrocyanic acid

Ka = 4.9×10^-10

pKa =..?

pKa = –Log Ka

pKa = –Log 4.9×10^-10

pKa = 9.3

For Nitrous acid

Ka = 4.6×10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –Log Ka

pKa = –Log 4.6×10^-4

pKa = 3.3

Summary:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>> Ka >>>>>>>> pKa

Hydrofluoric acid >> 3.5×10^-4 >> 3.5

Hydrocyanic acid >> 4.9×10^-10 > 9.3

Nitrous acid >>>>>>> 4.6×10^-4 >> 3.3

NB: The smaller the pKa value, the more acidic the compound is and the larger the pKa value, the less acidic the compound will be.

From the above calculations, Hydrocyanic acid has the highest pKa value.

Therefore, Hydrocyanic acid is the least acidic compound

answer; i believe the correct answer is (c) /// is a homogeneous mixture of gaseous substance nitrogen,oxygen and smaller amounts of other substancesmixtures can be either ( homogeneous or heterogeneous)plz check first good luck

b. acid is the correct answer @jayxboof all social media

acid : acids are those which accepts an electron-pairs.

base : bases are those which donates ab electron-pairs.

alkali : it is a base that dissolves in water. it is basically a base and the ph greater than 7.

hydroxide ion : it is a poly-atomic ion which is negatively charged.
