It's only a small difference (103 degrees versus 104 degrees in water),
and I believe the usual rationalization is that since F is more
electronegative than H, the electrons in the O-F bond spend more time
away from the O (and close to the F) than the electrons in the O-H bond.
That shifts the effective center of the repulsive force between the
bonding pairs away from the O, and hence away from each other. So the
repulsion between the bonding pairs is slightly less, while the
repulsion between the lone pairs on the O is the same -- the result is
the angle between the bonds is a little less.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
7
Explanation:
(Note: for a strong acid and strong base titration the equivalence point is at a pH=7. This is because at this point you have equal moles of added base as acid in the original solution. Therefore at the equivalence point the solution has formed a neutral salt and the pH is 7).
Answer:
The concentration of cyclopropane after 22.0 hour is 0.0457 M.
Explanation:
Conversion of cyclopropane into propene follows first order kinetics.
The integrated rate of first order kinetic is given by :
= Initial concentration of reactant
= final concentration of reactant after time t
k = rate constant of the reaction
We have :
Rate constant of the reaction = k =
t = 22.0 hour
[A] =?
The concentration of cyclopropane after 22.0 hour is 0.0457 M.
