Ok, so i did out this problem, but in the answer booklet, i have no idea where this number comes from.
So the problem asks:
HF<-->H+ + F-
a. 40 g HF and 2kg water, determine mass of each substance which is needed to make max quantity of .1 molal HF solution.
i figured this out to be 4 g (0.2 mol) HF and 2 kg water.
the next part asks:
Determine the molality of F- ions and the molality of HF molecules in the solution prepared as directed in part a.
what the book does is, it says that the molality of all dissolved particles is equal to the sum of the molalites of H+ ions, F- ions, and HF molecules.
mH+mF+mHF=0.108 <<<---Where does that number come from/?????
it then explains, per kg solvent, let x=mol HF dissociated=mol H+formed=mol F- formed
0.1 - x = mHF
x+x+(0.1-x)=0.108
x=0.008
Now what confuses me is where the 0.108 came from?!?!?!?
it says no where how it comes from or where they got it?
possible explanation please?
