I think your answer is D. However I’m not 100% sure.
Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.
Answer:
9.36
Explanation:
Sodium formate is the conjugate base of formic acid.
Also,

for sodium formate is 
Given that:
of formic acid = 
And, 
So,


Concentration = 0.35 M
HCOONa ⇒ Na⁺ + HCOO⁻
Consider the ICE take for the formate ion as:
HCOO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HCOOH + OH⁻
At t=0 0.35 - -
At t =equilibrium (0.35-x) x x
The expression for dissociation constant of sodium formate is:
![K_{b}=\frac {[OH^-][HCOOH]}{[HCOO^-]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bb%7D%3D%5Cfrac%20%7B%5BOH%5E-%5D%5BHCOOH%5D%7D%7B%5BHCOO%5E-%5D%7D)

Solving for x, we get:
x = 0.44×10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.44×10⁻⁵) = 4.64
pH + pOH = 14
So,
<u>pH = 14 - 4.64 = 9.36</u>
