The correct lewis structure for COH2 contains how many covalent bonds?

Chemistry

VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the attached picture in which you can find the Lewis dot structure for metanal (formaldehyde) we can see two C-H bonds and two C-O bonds via a double bond, thus, we can compute the type of each bond given the electronegativities of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen which are 2.1, 2.5 and 3.5 respectively:

C-H=2.5-2.1=0.4\\C-O=3.5-2.5=1.0

Thus, since both electronegativity difference are less 1.7 we infer that all of them are covalent, therefore, it has four covalent bonds, two C-H bonds and a double C-O bond.

Best regards-

If 12.1 kilograms of al2o3(s), 60.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 60.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cr
Fynjy0 [20]
Answer is: 7,826 kg of cryolite.
Chemical reaction: Al₂O₃ + 6NaOH + 12HF → 2Na₃AlF₆ + 9H₂<span>O.
m(</span>Al₂O₃) = 12,1 kg = 12100 g.
n(Al₂O₃) = m(Al₂O₃) ÷ M(Al₂O₃).
n(Al₂O₃) = 12100 g ÷ 101,96 g/mol = 111,86 mol; limiting reactant.
m(NaOH) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(NaOH) = 60400 g ÷ 40 g/mol.
n(NaOH) = 1510 mol.
m(HF) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(HF) = 60400 g ÷ 20 g/mol = 3020 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Al₂O₃) : n(Na₃AlF₆) = 6 : 2.
n(Na₃AlF₆) = 2 ·111,86 mol ÷ 6 = 37,28 mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 37,28 mol · 209,94 g/mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 7826,56 g = 7,826 kg.
