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:
Explanation:
The HF is about five million times as strong as phenol, so it will be by far the major contributor of hydronium ions. We can ignore the contribution from the phenol.
1 .Calculate the hydronium ion concentration
We can use an ICE table to organize the calculations.
HF + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + F⁻
I/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 0 0
C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x
E/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 - x x x

It’s D False. I pretty sure it’s not good enough but it’s not going there anymore lol I can’t yeyeuiiw
By Tri chlorination, three chlorine atoms can replace the 3 hydrogen atoms in propane molecule to give tri-chlorinated products according to the attached picture.
If two different elements combine separately with a fixed mass of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either the same as or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses in which they combine with each other.
