We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
.. .. ..
H - O - F - O:
·· ·· ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:
Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]
H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0
O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0
F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1
O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1
As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.
Answer:
moles = 36/180 = 0.2 moles
molarity = 0.2/2 = 0.1 mol/dm3
Answer: only O is unbalanced
Explanation:
There are only 2 oxygen atoms on the left but in the right there are 4
Molar mass NaCl = 58 g
Mass of solute = 29 g
number of moles: mass of solute / molar mass
n = 29 / 58
n = 0.5 moles
hope this helps!
