STRUCTURE OF BROMOUS ACID: H–O–Br=O
<span>In this structure, all the elements have a formal charge of
zero. The formal charge of each element is calculated below: </span><span>
H: 1 – 1/2(2) – 0 = 0
O: 6 – 1/2(4) – 4 = 0
Br: 7 – 1/2(6) – 4 = 0

Answer:
b) 2.0 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Ca needed = ?
Number of moles of water present = 4.0 mol
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂
now we will compare the moles of Ca and H₂O .
H₂O : Ca
2 : 1
4.0 : 1/2×4.0 = 2.0 mol
Thus, 2 moles of Ca are needed.
<span>A chemist adds 155.0ml of a 4.10 X 10^-5 mmol/L of a zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4)solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask.
1mmol = 10^-3 mol
Therefore 4.10*10^-5mmol = 4.10*10^-8mol
molar mass ZnC2O4 = 65.39+(2*12.011)+(4*15.99) = 153.372g/mol
You have 4.10*10^-8 mol/litre =153.372 * 4.10*10^-8 = 6.29*10^-6 grams / litre (* see below)
But you have 155ml. Mass of ZnC2O4 = 155/1000*6.29*10^-6 g
Mass is = 9.75*10^-7 grams
1µg = 10^-6 g
You then have 9.75*10^-7/10^-6 = 0.975µg ZnC2O4
(*see below) at this point you could have said:
1µg = 10^-6 g therefore you have a solution of 6.29µg per litre,
155ml = 6.29*155/1000 = 0.975µg ZnC2O4</span>
