Concept introduction:
VSEPR theory is based on the repulsions between the electrons pair in the valence shell. According to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the position of the electron pairs to minimize the repulsion, and maximize the stability.
According to VSEPR theory, the table for molecular geometries when the central atom has no lone pair is as follows:

- Calculate the pH and the pOH of each of the following solutions at 25 °C for which the substances ionize completely: (a) 0.000259 M HClO4arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃arrow_forward
