Answer:

Increasing H⁺ by 10x => pH decreases by 1 unit

Explanation:

In general, adding H⁺ ions to any aqueous solution ALWAYS causes pH values to fall ( decrease ). Just as adding OH⁻ ions to an aqueous solution causes pH values to rise ( increase ).

Here's a simple calculation demonstrating this...

Given 0.01M HCl(aq) => 0.01M H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => pH = -log(0.01) = 2.00

Increase [H⁺] by 10x => 0.10M H⁺(aq) => pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(0.10) = 1.00

Solution with higher H⁺ concentration shows <u>pH decreasing by 1 unit.</u>

______________________________________________________-

Just to support the above statement about adding OH⁻ ions showing an increase in pH values, the following is also provided FYI ..

Given 0.01M NaOH(aq) => 0.01M OH⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq) => pOH = -log(0.01) = 2.00 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2 = 12

Increase [OH⁻] by 10x => 0.10M OH⁻(aq) => pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.10) = 1.00 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1 = 13

Increasing [OH⁻] by 10x => <u>increasing pH by 1 unit. </u>

Solution with higher H⁺ concentration shows pH decreasing by 1 unit.

______________________________________________________

Remember, for <u>any</u> aqueous solution ...

=> Adding H⁺   => always decreases pH

=> Adding OH⁻ => always increases pH

What intermolecular forces can occur between a CO3<br> ion and H2O molecules? List them
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The intermolecular forces between CO3^2- and H2O molecules are;

1) London dispersion forces

2) ion-dipole interaction

3) hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction that exits between molecules. These forces are weaker in comparison to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Considering CO3^2- and H2O, we must remember that hydrogen bonds occur whenever hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as oxygen. The carbonate ion is a hydrogen bond acceptor.

Also, the London dispersion forces are present in all molecules and is the first intermolecular interaction in molecular substance. Lastly, ion-dipole interactions exists between water and the carbonate ion.
