We are given the base dissociation constant, Kb, for Pyridine (C5H5N) which is 1.4x10^-9. The acid dissociation constant, Ka for the Pyridium ion or the conjugate acid of Pyridine is to be determined. We know from our chemistry classes that:
Kw = Kb * Ka
where Kw is always equal to 1x10^-14
so, to solve for Ka of Pyridium ion, substitute Kb to the equation together with Kw and solve for Ka:
1x10^-14 = 1.4x10^-9 * Ka
solve for Ka
Ka = 7.14x10^-6
Therefore, the acid dissociation constant of Pyridinium ion is 7.14x10^-6.

The answer is-
is octahedral in electronic and molecular geometry with 6 Fluorine atoms bonded to central atom S.
Lewis structures are the diagrams in which the valence electrons of the atoms of a compound are arranged around the atoms showing the bonding between the atom and the lone pair of electrons existing in the molecule.
Determine the molecular geometry of
.
- Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory is commonly known as VSEPR theory and it helps to predict the geometry of molecules.
- According to this theory, electrons are arranged around the central atom of the molecule in such a way that there is minimum electrostatic repulsion between these electrons.
- Now, calculate the total number of valence electrons in
.

Valence electrons of S = 6
Valence electrons of F = 7
Thus, the valence electrons in
are-

- The Lewis structure of
is - (Image attached). - In the structure, the number of atoms bonded to central atom (S) = 6.
- Number of non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom = 0 (as all the valence electrons are bonded to F).
- Electronic geometry in case of 6 bond pairs is octahedral.
- Molecular geometry us also octahedral with bond angles 90°.
- Central atom is sp3d2 hybridised.
is a non-polar molecule.

Increased temperature causes an increase in kinetic energy. The higher kinetic energy causes more motion in the gas molecules which break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.
Answer: pOH = 4.68
Explanation:
pOH = 14 - pH
pH = - Log [H+]
= - Log [4.8 x 10^-10]
= -(-9.32)
pH =+9.32
Therefore, pOH= 14 - 9.32
= 4.68
