The given data states that the 2-D diagram is representing Lithium molecule.
few things one must know before solving the question,
Lithium is a Alkali metal having 3 electrons, out of which two electrons lies in 1S orbital (K shell) & one electron lies in 2S orbital. To attain the stability ( nobel configuration) lithium requires 7 electron which is not possible at ordinary condition & it requires a huge amount of energy instead lithium loses one electron from outermost shell.
We know that when any atom loses a electron the oxidation number is written with plus(+) symbol.
Hence net charge on lithium ion is +1
Answer:
the concentration of bicarbonate is <em>[HCO₃⁻] = 0,03996 M </em>and carbonate is <em>[CO₃²⁻] = 3,56x10⁻⁵ M.</em>
Explanation:
Carbonate-bicarbonate is:
HCO₃⁻ ⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ With pka = 10,25
Using Henderson-Hasselbalach formula:
pH = pka + log₁₀
7,2 = 10,25 + log₁₀
8,91x10⁻⁴ = <em>(1)</em>
Also:
0,040 M = [CO₃²⁻] + [HCO₃⁻] <em>(2)</em>
Replacing (2) in 1:
<em>[HCO₃⁻] = 0,03996 M</em>
Thus:
<em>[CO₃²⁻] = 3,56x10⁻⁵ M</em>
I hope it helps.
