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: Magnesium
Explanation:
Galvanic cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.
The standard reduction potential for magnesium and zinc are as follows:
![E^0_{[Mg^{2+}/Mg]}= -2.37V](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5E0_%7B%5BMg%5E%7B2%2B%7D%2FMg%5D%7D%3D%20-2.37V)
![E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5E0_%7B%5BZn%5E%7B2%2B%7D%2FZn%5D%7D%3D-0.76V)
Reduction takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is higher (positive) and oxidation takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is less (more negative).
Here Mg undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Zinc undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.
Thus magnesium gets oxidized.
Number of moles of oxygen = x
number of moles of nitrogen = y
x = 2y
initial pressure, p1 = 0.8 atm
final pressure, p2 = 1.10 atm
At constant volume and temperature p1 / n1 = p2 / n2
=> p1 / p2 = n1 / n2
n1 = x + y = 2y + y = 3y
n2 = 0.2 + 3y
=> p1 / p2 = 3y / (0.2 + 3y)
=> 0.8 / 1.10 = 3y / (0.2 + 3y)
=> 0.8 (0.2 + 3y) = 1.10 (3y)
0.16 + 2.4y = 3.3y
=> 3.3y - 2.4y = 0.16
=> 0.9y = 0.16
=> y = 0.16 / 0.9
=. x = 2*0.16/0.9 = 0.356
