<u>Answer:</u> A molecule of $ClO_3^-$ has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lewis-dot structure is defined as the structure which represents the number of valence electrons around the atoms. The electrons are represented as dots.

This structure helps in the determination of bonding electrons and non-bonding electrons.

For the given compound $ClO_3^-$

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron. The negative charge gets add up in the total number of valence electrons.

Total number of valence electrons in $ClO_3^-$ = 7 + 3(6) + 1 = 26

In $ClO_3^-$ , two electrons of 2 oxygen atoms combine with 2 electrons of chlorine and 1 electron of one oxygen atom combines with 1 electron of chlorine atom.

A lone pair remains on the central atom which is chlorine.

Hence, a molecule of $ClO_3^-$ has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

what is the approximate ph at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration if 25 ml of aqueous formic acid require

vivado [14]

Answer:

pH at equivalence point is 8.52

Explanation:

$HCOOH+NaOH\rightarrow HCOO^{-}Na^{+}+H_{2}O$

1 mol of HCOOH reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1 mol of $HCOO^{-}$

So, moles of NaOH used to reach equivalence point equal to number of moles $HCOO^{-}$ produced at equivalence point.

As density of water is 1g/mL, therefore molarity is equal to molality of an aqueous solution.

So, moles of $HCOO^{-}$ produced = $\frac{29.80\times 0.3567}{1000}moles=0.01063moles$

Total volume of solution at equivalence point = (25+29.80) mL = 54.80 mL

So, at equivalence point concentration of $HCOO^{-}$ = $\frac{0.01063\times 1000}{54.80}M=0.1940M$

At equivalence point, pH depends upon hydrolysis of $HCOO^{-}$ . So, we have to construct an ICE table.

$HCOO^{-}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons HCOOH+OH^{-}$

I: 0.1940 0 0

C: -x +x +x

E: 0.1940-x x x

So, $\frac{[HCOOH][OH^{-}]}{[HCOO^{-}]}=K_{b}(HCOO^{-})=\frac{10^{-14}}{Ka(HCOOH)}$

species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, $\frac{x^{2}}{0.1940-x}=5.56\times 10^{-11}$

or, $x^{2}+(5.56\times 10^{-11}\times x)-(1.079\times 10^{-11})=0$

So, $x=\frac{-(5.56\times 10^{-11})+\sqrt{(5.56\times 10^{-11})^{2}+(4\times 1.079\times 10^{-11})}}{2}$

So, $x=3.285\times 10^{-6}M$

So, $pH=14-pOH=14+log[OH^{-}]=14+logx=14+log(3.285\times 10^{-6})=8.52$
