Answer:

All bonds are equivalent in length and strength within the molecule.

Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule that exhibit a D3h symmetry group.

Sulfur has sp2 hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen.

Its constituent sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and a formal charge of 0.

The Lewis structure is made up of one S=O double bond and two S–O dative bonds that doesn't not engage the d-orbitals. ( Thus, SO3 molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom). This explains the strength.

It gaseous form had a zero electrical dipole moment because of the 120° angle between the S-O bonds.

30.0 ml of an hf solution were titrated with 22.15 ml of a 0.122 m koh solution to reach the equivalence point. what is the mola

a_sh-v [17]

Answer is: molarity of hydrofluoric solution is 0.09 M.

Chemical reaction: HF(aq) + KOH(aq) → KF(aq) + H₂O(l).
V(HF) = 30.0 mL.
c(KOH) = 0.122 M.
V(KOH) = 22.15 mL:
c(HF) = ?.
From chemical reaction: n(HF) : n(KOH) = 1 : 1.
n(HF) = n(KOH).
c(HF) · V(HF) = c(KOH) · V(KOH).
c(HF) = c(KOH) · V(KOH) ÷ V(HF).
c(HF) = 0.122 M · 22.15 mL ÷ 30 mL:
c(HF) = 0.09 M.
