What type of geometry corresponds with dsp3 hybridization?
trigonal bipyramidal
What type of geometry corresponds with d2sp3 hybridization?
octahedral
What type of geometry corresponds with dsp2 hybridization?
square planar
What type of geometry corresponds with sp3 hybridization?

How many equivalents of a strong base (NaOH) are needed to neutralize a an acid?
One equivalent per acidic proton (2 for H2SO4)
If pH > pKa, will the the equilibrium shift towards protonated species or deprotonated species?
Deprotonated because if there is a lot of acid(protonated species) then the equilibrium will shift towards the deprotonated species
What is the henderson-hasselbalch equation?
pH = pKa + log (conj. Base/ conj. acid)
What is the dissociation equilibrium constant Keq equal to when given Ka?
1/Ka
What are the Purines?
Adenine and Guanine
