The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.

There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.

B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.

The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.

The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.

 Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.

When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.

Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.

describe the behavior of the molecules in a liquid. Explain this behavior in terms of intermolecular forces.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Molecules in liquids are held to other molecules by intermolecular interactions, which are weaker than the intramolecular interactions that hold the atoms together within molecules and polyatomic ions.

At an elevated temperature, Kp=4.2 x 10^-9 for the reaction 2HBr (g)---> +H2(g) + Br2 (g). If the initial partial pressures o
Damm [24]

Answer : The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation :

The partial pressure of HBr = 1.0\times 10^{-2}atm

The partial pressure of H_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

The partial pressure of Br_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

K_p=4.2\times 10^{-9}

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                                2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Initial pressure    1.0×10⁻²       2.0×10⁻⁴      2.0×10⁻⁴

At eqm.            (1.0×10⁻²-2p)   (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)  (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2})(p_{Br_2})}{(p_{HBr})^2}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

4.2\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)}{(1.0\times 10^{-2}-2p)^2}

p=-1.99\times 10^{-4}

The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶
