Answer:
Molecular geometry Vsepr
According to VSEPR, the valence electron pairs surrounding an atom mutually repel each other; they adopt an arrangement that minimizes this repulsion, thus determining the molecular geometry. This means that the bonding (and non-bonding) electrons will repel each other as far away as geometrically possible.
Explanation:
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:
Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr]
HOBr = 0.50 M
KOBr = 0.30 M = OBr-
<span> HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I 0.50 - 0 0.30 </span>
<span>C -x x x
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x) x (0.30+x) </span>
<span>Assuming that the value of x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>
<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>
<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>
pH = 8.48
The answer to this question would be: 3.125%
Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%
