Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula
Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)
a) for methylene:
Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0
b) For methyl free radical
Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
The composition would be more "diluted" in a sense.
Answer:
1.20 M
Explanation:
Convert grams of Na₂CO₃ to moles. (50.84 g)/(105.99 g/mol) = 0.4797 mol
Molarity is (moles of solute)/(liters of solvent) = (0.4797 mol)/(0.400 L) = 1.20 M
Since 1 mole of any element contains 6.0221023 atoms, a mole of carbon and a mole of oxygen will have the same number of atoms.
<h3>Is a mole of oxygen equivalent to a mole of carbon?</h3>
Answer and justification The molar mass of carbon differs from the molar mass of oxygen, hence this assertion is untrue. As a result, one mole of oxygen and one mole of carbon cannot have the same mass.
<h3>What kind of link unites carbon and oxygen?</h3>
A polar covalent link between carbon and oxygen is known as a carbon-oxygen bond. With six valence electrons, oxygen likes to either share two of them in a bond with carbon, leaving the remaining four unoccupied.
