Options:
  • A Degree of dissociation = 0.017, [H₃O⁺] = 0.037 M, [F⁻] = 0.017 M, [HF] = 1.963 M, pH = 0.71
  • B Degree of dissociation = 0.032, [H₃O⁺] = 0.066 M, [F⁻] = 0.032 M, [HF] = 1.968 M, pH = 2.62
  • C Degree of dissociation = 0.020, [H₃O⁺] = 0.040 M, [F⁻] = 0.020 M, [HF] = 1.980 M, pH = 0.69
  • D Degree of dissociation = 0.025, [H₃O⁺] = 0.049 M, [F⁻] = 0.025 M, [HF] = 1.975 M, pH = 0.70
