1. Find its coordination figure/coordination number of central atom (CF)
Ev = Vallence electron of central atom
Σe = electrons donated from substituents
Terminal O gives 0 electrons, hence Σe = 3 x 0
charge = charge of the compound
2. Find EP (electron pairs) and LP (lone pairs)
LP = CF - EP
3. Draw the skeleton with octet substituents (top right figure)
4. Find formal charge for each atoms (Qf)
5. Write formal charge near atom in skeleton
6. Enjoy
Answer:
b) 3.10
Explanation:
HF ⇄ H
+ + F
Using Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA].
Where;
pKa = Dissociation constant = -log Ka
Hence, pKa of HF = -log 7.2 x 10^-4 = 3.14266
[A-] = concentration of conjugate base after dissociation = moles of base/total volume
= 0.15 x 0.3/0.8
= 0.05625 M
[HA] = concentration of the acid = moles of acid/total volume
= 0.10 x 0.5/0.8
= 0.0625 M
Note: <em>Total volume = 500 + 300 = 800 mL = 0.8 dm3</em>
pH = 3.14266 + log [0.05625/0.0625]
= 3.14267 + (-0.04575749056)
= 3.09691250944
<em>From all the available options below:</em>
<em>a) 2.97
</em>
<em>b) 3.10
</em>
<em>c) 3.19
</em>
<em>d) 3.22
</em>
<em>e) 3.32</em>
The correct option is b.
CaO because oxygen have 2 dots and calcium as well
(oxygen valency -2
calcium valncy +2)= CaO
Answer:
Plants will absorb water through their roots and release water as vapor into the air through these stomata. To survive in drought conditions, plants need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss. Some plants that live in dry conditions have evolved to have smaller leaves and therefore fewer stomata.
