Answer:

They will create an ionic bond.

Explanation:

The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbon tetr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

HF - hydrogen bonding

CBr4 - Dispersion

NF3 - Dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, chlorine nitrogen, oxygen etc. Hence the dominant intermolecular force in HF is hydrogen bonding.

CBr4 is nonpolar because the molecule is tetrahedral and the individual C-Br dipole moments cancel out leaving the molecule with a zero dipole moment hence the dominant intermolecular force are the dispersion forces.

NF3 has a resultant dipole moment hence the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole interaction.

Using the systematic approach for equilibrium problems, calculate the pH of 0.05 M HOCl. Ka= 3.0*10-8 Group of answer choices 3.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The pH is equal to 4.41

Explanation:

Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:

                HClO   ⇄   ClO-  +  H+

start:          0.05            0         0

change       -x               +x       +x

balance     0.05-x         x         x

As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.

the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:

Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}

The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:

3x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2} }{0.05}

clearing the x and calculating its value we have:

x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]

the pH can be calculated by:

pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41
