Among formic acid (HCOOH ) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), formic acid is the weak acid. Acidic strength of any acid is the tendency of that acid to loose proton. Among these two acids formic acid has a pKa value of 3.74 greater than that of sulfuric acid i.e. -10. Remember! Greater the pKa value of acid weaker is that acid and vice versa. Below I have drawn the Ionization of both acids to corresponding conjugate bases and protons. The structures below with charges are drawn in order to explain the reason for strength. As it is seen in charged structure of formic acid, there is one positive charge on carbon next to oxygen carrying proton. The electron density is shifted toward carbon as it is electron deficient and demands more electron hence, attracting electron density from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond more polar. While, in case of sulfuric acid it is depicted that Sulfur attached to oxygen containing proton has 2+ charge, means more electron deficient as compared to carbon of formic acid, hence, more electron demanding and strongly attracting electrons from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond very polar and highly ionizable.

How many moles of hydrogen fluoride are required to react completely with 75.0 g of tin?

Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.

Known

given: 75.0 g Sn
molar mass of Sn = 118.69 g/mol
1 mol Sn = 2 mol HF (mole ratio)
Unknown

mol HF
Use the molar mass of Sn to convert the grams of Sn to moles. Then use the mole ratio to convert from mol Sn to mol HF. This will be done in a single two-step calculation.

g Sn → mol Sn → mol HF

Step 2: Solve.

Step 3: Think about your result.

The mass of tin is less than one mole, but the 1:2 ratio means that more than one mole of HF is required for the reaction. The answer has three significant figures because the given mass has three significant figures.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate is in the attached.

(b) The carbonyl carbon have an sp² hybridization

(c) The nitrogen have an sp² hybridization?

Explanation:

(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate has the nitrogen with one lone pair and the oxygen with two lone pairs.

(b) The carbonyl carbon form double bond with the oxygen causing to form three hybrid orbitals sp².

The Nitrogen also forms a double bond with the carbon having an sp² hybridization too.

Determine the percent yield of a reaction that produces 28.65 g of Fe when 50.00 g of Fe2O3 react with excess Al according to th
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 82%

Explanation:

First step: make the chemist equation.

2 Al (s) + Fe2O3 (s) → 2 Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s)

As the statement says that aluminun is in excess, the limiting reactant is the Fe2O3

Second step: Find out the moles in the reactant.

Molar weight Fe2O3: 159.7 g/m

Mass / Molar weight = moles

50 g /159.7 g/m = 0.313 moles

Third step: Analyse the reaction. 1 mol of Fe2O3 makes 2 moles of Fe.

1 mol Fe2O3 ____ 2Fe

0.313 mol Fe2O3 ____ 0.626 moles

Molar weight Fe = 55.85 g/m

Moles . molar weight = mass

55.85g/m . 0.626m = 34.9 grams

This will be the 100% yield of the reaction but we only made 28.65 g

34.9 g ____ 100%

28.65 g ____ 82.09 %
