How can derivatives relation between relative lovering of vapour pressure and molality?

A saturared solution of XCl3 has a vapour pressure 17.20 mm Hg at 20°C, while pure water vapour pressure is 17.25 mm Hg. Solubility product (Ksp) of XCl3 at 20°C is

Why the C-C bond length in graphite is shorter than C-C bond length of diamond?

Graphite has carbon in sp2 hybrid state (33.3 % s character) but diamond has carbon in sp3 hybrid state (25 % s characrer). More is the percentage of s characters, (by Bent rule) more is the bond multiplicity and hence, shorter the bond is. Thus carbon-carban bond in graphite has double bond character but has a single bond character in diamond. Hence, C-C bond length in graphite is shorter than than in diamond.

Silianol (SiH3OH) is more acidic than methanol (CH3OH) why?

We know that acidic strength of an acid also depend upon stability of its conjugate baseSo silianol is more acidic than methanol (H3C-OH) because conjugate base silianol (H3Si-OH) stablised by dispersal of negative charge in H3Si-O- ion by 2pπ—3dπ back bonding


Hence methanol is less acidic than silianol.

Why Bond angle of NF3(102 degree) is lesser than in NH3 (107) ? explaine.

Bond angle of NF3(102 degree) is lesser than in NH3 (107) as per VSEPR theory which suggests that in case of less electronegative terminal atoms like H, Bond pairs would be closer to more electronegative central atom, N and hence bonds open up due to repulsion between  bond pairs electron density in vicinity. But bond angle of PF3(100) is greater than PH3, its due to possibility of back bonding in PF3 between lone pair of fluorine and vacant d-orbital of phosphorous (2pπ-3dπ) hence forth P-F bond acquires partial double character and we know well that multiple bonds causes more repulsion so bond angle is greater.
