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-

Write a double replacement precipitation reaction A precipitate forms when aqueous solutions of nickel(II) chloride and silver(I
harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

When nickel (II) chloride reacts with silver (I) nitrate, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of silver chloride and an aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

NiCl_2(aq.)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgCl(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of nickel (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate to produce 2 moles of solid silver chloride and 1 moles of aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
