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.

Explanation:
The given data for case (1) is as follows.
h = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Assuming that a rectangular slab is placed above the pipe and we will calculate the heat transfer as follows.
Q =
where, A = area
L = length
k = thermal conductivity = 0.8 W/m
= change in temperature.
Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
Q =
=
= 168 W
For case (2), h = 180 cm = 1.8 m
Therefore, heat lost will be calculated as follows.
Q =
=
= 18.67 W
Thus, we can conclude that 18.67 W heat lost if the pipe was buried at a depth of 180 cm.
