Choose all resonance structures of ocn− with right formal charges in each. check all that apply.
1 answer:
Formal charge on an element in a molecule is calculated by using following formula,
Formal Charge = [# of Valence Electrons] - [Electrons in Lone Pairs +
1/2 the # of Bonding Electrons]
Example:
Let's calculate the formal charge present on Oxygen atom in Structure 1. The oxygen atom has,
6 Valence shell electrons
2 Bond Pair Electrons
6 Lone pair Electrons
So,
Formal Charge = [6] - [6+2/2]
Formal Charge = 6 - 7
Formal Charge = -1
You can calculate formal charges on all atoms in all three structure. I have drawn the structures with formal charges.

Assume 1 tsp is approximately can hold 5 mL liquid.
Given the dose of medicine = 1.5 tsp
Converting 1.5 tsp to mL:
= 7.5 mL
Given the specific gravity of the medicine = 1.23
That means density of the medicine with respect to water will be 1.23
As the density of water is 1 g/mL
We can take density of the medicine to be 1.23 g/mL
Calculating the mass of medicine in grams:
9.225 g medicine is present in one dose.
