  1. 0.025 litres @ 0.30 mol/litre - 0.0075 moles HF

    0.025 litres @ 0.30 mol/litre - 0.0075 moles NaOH

    they produce 0.0075 moles of NaF which in 0.050 litres  = 0.15 molar F-

    that hydrolyses:

    F- in water => HF & OH-

    Kh = Kwater/ Ka = 1e-14 / 7.2e-4 = 1.39e-11

    1.39e-11 = [HF] [OH-] / [HF]

    1.39e-11 = [x] [x] / [0.15]

    x = [OH-] = 1.44e-6

    pOH = 5.84

    14 - pOH = pH

    your answer: pH = 8.16
