Consider the resonance structures for the carbonate ion. carbonate is a carbon double bonded to an oxygen with two lone pairs an

d single bonded to two oxygens, each with three lone pairs and a negative charge. The three resonance structures are all equivalent. How much negative charge is on each oxygen of the carbonate ion? 0 −1.33 −0.33 −0.67 −0.50 −2.00 −1.00 −1.67 −1.50 What is the bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion?

Answer:

The correct answers are: <u>Each oxygen of carbonate ion has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>

<u>Bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion</u> = <u>1.33</u>

Explanation:

The carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) is an organic compound, in which a carbon atom is covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The net formal charge on a carbonate ion is −2.

The carbonate ion is <u>resonance stabilized</u> and has three equivalent resonating structures, which exhibits that all the three carbon-oxygen bonds in a carbonate ion are equivalent.

In the resonance hybrid of carbonate ion,<u> the negative charge is equally delocalized on all the three oxygen atoms. </u>

<u>Thus, each bonded oxygen has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>

<u />

In a carbonate ion there is one double bond oxygen (C=O) and two single bonded oxygen (C-O). Bond order of 1 C=O is 2 and bond order of C-O is 1.

∴ <u>Bond order</u> = sum of all bond orders ÷ number of bonding groups = (2+1+1) ÷ 3 = <u>1.33</u>

Complete combustion of 2.60 g of a hydrocarbon produced 8.46 g of co2 and 2.60 g of h2o. what is the empirical formula for the h
zubka84 [21]
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon. 
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
 (12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
 1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
 (2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12  = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
             Carbon : Hydrogen
  0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
                       1 :  1.5
                      (1 : 1.5) 2
                     = 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3
