Mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 1.95 g
V KOH = 0.350 L
[KOH] = 0.220 M
Kf = 5.0 x 10⁹
molar mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 182.943 g/mol
so [Co(NO₃)₂] = 1.95 / (0.350 * 182.943) = 0.03045 M
[Co²⁺] = 0.03045 M
[OH⁻] = 0.22 M
chemical reaction:
Co²⁺(aq) + 4 OH⁻ ⇄ Co(OH)₄²⁻
I (M) 0.03045 0.22 0
C (M) - 0.03045 - 4 (0.03045) 0.03045
E (M) - x 0.22 - 4(0.03045) 0.03045
= 0.0982
Kf = [Co(OH)₄²⁻] / [Co⁺²][OH⁻]⁴
5.0 x 10⁹ = (0.03045) / x (0.0982)⁴
x = 6.5489 x 10⁻⁸
at equilibrium:
[Co²⁺] = 6.54 x 10⁻⁸
[OH⁻] = 0.0982 M
[Co(OH)₄²⁻] = 0.03045 M
Answer: option C. HF
Explanation: A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. Fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen so the electrons in the bond are more closely associated with the fluorine atom than with the hydrogen atom.
