Consider the buffer system of hydrofluoric acid, HF, and its salt, NaF.

HF(aq) + H2O(l) H3O + (aq) + F (aq)

a. The purpose of this buffer system is to:

1. maintain [HF ]

2. maintain [F ]

3. maintain pH


b. The salt of the weak acid is needed to:

1. provide the conjugate base

2. neutralize added H3O+

3. provide the conjugate acid


c. The addition of OH is neutralized by:

1. the salt

2. H2O

3. H3O+


d. When H3O + is added, the equilibrium shifts in the direction of the:

1. reactants

2. does not change
