Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Molecule

The molecule in question is borane, $\mathrm{BH}_{3}$.

Step 2: Determine the Type of Molecule

Borane ($\mathrm{BH}_{3}$) is a small, nonpolar molecule. It has a trigonal planar structure with boron at the center and three hydrogen atoms symmetrically arranged around it.

Step 3: Identify Possible Intermolecular Forces

For nonpolar molecules like $\mathrm{BH}_{3}$, the primary intermolecular force is London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces). These forces arise due to temporary dipoles created when electrons move around the nucleus.

Final Answer

The intermolecular forces present in $\mathrm{BH}_{3}$ are \(\boxed{\text{London dispersion forces}}\).

Consider the following reaction: N2(g)+2 H2O(g)=2 NO(g)+2 H2(g) The enthalpy change at 298 K for this reaction is ΔH°rnn=664.38 kJ / mol. Under the same conditions the entropy change for the reaction is ΔS°ran=113.24 J / mol-K. Calculate the value of K Eq for 8711 K. Assume that ΔH°r×n and ΔS°ren does not change with temperature. Use R=8.314 J / mol-K for the value of the gas constant.
