The fluoride ion is the conjugate base of the weak acid hydrofluoric acid. The value of Kb for F-, is 1.39×10-11. Write the equation for the reaction that goes with this equilibrium constant.

F⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HF(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that donates H⁺ ions. In this sense, hydrofluoric acid is an acid according to the following equation.

HF(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ F⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory, a base is a substance that accepts H⁺ ions. In this sense, the fluoride ion is a base according to the following equation.

F⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HF(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kb = 1.39 × 10⁻¹¹.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
