Bromine molecules have covalent bonding. Bromine molecule is stabilized by weak intermolecular forces of attraction such as van der Waals forces of attraction. van der Waals forces are result of creation of instantaneous dipoles caused by the uneven distribution of the electron cloud. The weak intermolecular forces of attraction account for the lower melting point of bromine.

Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure the intermolecular bonds of bromine are weak bcz they are weak vandervaal forces thats why Bromines melting point is low..In short when intermolecular bomds are weak the M.P is lower

An unknown salt is either NaF, NaCl, or NaOCl. When 0.050 mol of the salt is dissolved in water to form 0.500 L of solution, the

victus00 [196]

Answer: The unknown salt is NaF

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of salt}=\frac{0.050mol}{0.500L}\\\\\text{Molarity of salt}=0.1M$

To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

We are given:

pH = 8.08

$pOH=14-8.08=5.92$

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.92=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M$

The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of $X^-$ ions follows:

$X^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HX(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b$

Initial: 0.1

At eqllm: 0.1-x x x

Concentration of $OH^-=x=1.202\times 10^{-6}M$

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_b=\frac{(1.202\times 10^{-6})\times (1.202\times 10^{-6})}{(1-(1.202\times 10^{-6}))}\\\\K_b=1.445\times 10^{-11}M$

To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:

$K_w=K_b\times K_a$

where,

$K_w$ = Ionic product of water = $10^{-14}$

$K_a$ = Acid dissociation constant

$K_b$ = Base dissociation constant = $1.445\times 10^{-11}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10^{-14}=1.445\times 10^{-11}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.445\times 10^{-11}}=6.92\times 10^{-4}$

We know that:

$K_a\text{ for HF}=6.8\times 10^{-6}$

$K_a\text{ for HCl}=1.3\times 10^{6}$

$K_a\text{ for HClO}=3.0\times 10^{-8}$

So, the calculated $K_a$ is approximately equal to the $K_a$ of HF

Hence, the unknown salt is NaF

a 1.642 g sample of calcium bromide is dissolved in enough water to give 469.1 mL of solution what is the bromide ion concentrat

aleksklad [387]

The bromide concentration in this solution of calcium bromide dissolved in enough water to give 469.1 mL is 1.75 × 10-⁵M.

<h3>How to calculate concentration?</h3>

The concentration of a solution can be calculated by dividing the number of moles of the substance by its volume.

No of moles of calcium bromide is calculated as follows:

moles = 1.642 ÷ 199.89 = 8.215 × 10-³moles

Molarity = 8.215 × 10-³moles ÷ 469.1mL = 1.75 × 10-⁵M

Therefore, the bromide concentration in this solution of calcium bromide dissolved in enough water to give 469.1 mL is 1.75 × 10-⁵M.
