moles of HF = (4x10-4) mole/L x 0.5 L = 2x10-4 moles
molarity of final HF solution = 2x10-4 moles/0.745L = 2.68 x10-4 M
Ka of HF = 6.6 x10-4
HF -----------> H+ + F-
2.68 x10-4 x x
Ka = [X] .[X] / [HF] ,,,,,,, 6.6 x10-4 = X2/ 2.68 x10-4 , therefore X = [H+] = 4.20x10-4
pH = -log( 4.20x10-4) = 3.4; pOH = 14 - 3.4 = 10.6
