Answer:

[OH⁻] = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

Explanation:

Assuming the source of the carbonate ion is from a Group IA carbonate salt (e.g.; Na₂CO₃), then 0.115M Na₂CO₃(aq) => 2(0.115)M Na⁺(aq) + 0.115M CO₃²⁻(aq). The 0.115M CO₃²⁻ then reacts with water to give 0.115M carbonic acid; H₂CO₃(aq) in equilibrium with H⁺(aq) and HCO₃⁻(aq) as the 1st ionization step.

Analysis:

            H₂CO₃(aq)     ⇄     H⁺(aq)    +    HCO₃⁻(aq); Ka(1) = 4.3 x 10⁻⁷

C(i)          0.115M                      0                  0

ΔC              -x                        +x                  +x

C(eq)    0.115M - x                   x                    x

            ≅ 0.115M

Ka(1) = [H⁺(aq)][HCO₃⁻(aq)]/[H₂CO₃(aq)] = [(x)(x)/(0.115)]M = [x²/0.115]M

= 4.3 x 10⁻⁷  => x = [H⁺(aq)]₁ = SqrRt(4.3 x 10⁻⁷ · 0.115)M = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ions.

In general, it is assumed that all of the hydronium ion comes from the 1st ionization step as adding 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁷ would be an insignificant change in H⁺ ion concentration. Therefore, using 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ion  concentration, the hydroxide ion concentration is then calculated from

[H⁺][OH⁻] = Kw => [OH⁻] = (1 x 10⁻¹⁴/2.32 x 10⁻⁴)M = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

________________________________________________________

NOTE: The 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M  value for [H⁺] is reasonable for carbonic acid solution with pH ≅ 3.5 - 4.0.

What are all the intermolecular forces present in a sample of BrF?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces exists between the molecules of a substance in a particular state of matter.

The type of intermolecular forces present in  a substance is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms that compose the substance.

There is a non zero electronegativity difference  between Br and F hence the molecule is polar and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of BrF are dipole-dipole forces.
