The correct lewis structure for COH2 contains how many covalent bonds?
1 answer:
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:
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.

Answer:
The mass of copper(II) sulfide formed is:
= 81.24 g
Explanation:
The Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is :
given mass= 54 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol
Moles of Cu = 0.8497 mol
Given mass = 42 g
Molar mass of S = 32.06 g/mol
Moles of S = 1.31 mol
Limiting Reagent :<em> The reagent which is present in less amount and consumed in a reactio</em>n
<u><em>First find the limiting reagent :</em></u>
1 mol of Cu require = 1 mol of S
0.8497 mol of Cu should require = 1 x 0.8497 mol
= 0.8497 mol of S
S present in the reaction Medium = 1.31 mol
S Required = 0.8497 mol
S is present in excess and <u>Cu is limiting reagent</u>
<u>All Cu is consumed in the reaction</u>
Amount Cu will decide the amount of CuS formed
1 mole of Cu gives = 1 mole of Copper sulfide
0.8497 mol of Cu = 1 x 0.8497 mole of Copper sulfide
= 0.8497
Molar mass of CuS = 95.611 g/mol
Mass of CuS = 0.8497 x 95.611
= 81.24 g
