Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s

table than those of the other halogens. Bonding theory, however, does allow one to propose structures for these acids and use formal charges for the evaluation of these structures. For a molecule of fluorous acid, the atoms are arranged as HOFO. (Note: In this oxyacid, the placement of fluorine is an exception to the rule of putting the more electronegative atom in a terminal position.) What is the formal charge on each of the atoms?

Answer:

HOFO = (0, 0, +1, -1)

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the following equation:

FC = V - N - \frac{1}{2}B

<u>Where:</u>

V: are the valence electrons

N: are the nonbonding electrons

B: are the bonding electrons

The arrange of the atoms in the oxyacid is:

H - O₁ - F - O₂

Hence, the formal charge (FC) on each of the atoms is:

H: FC = 1 - 0 - 1/2*(2) = 0            

O₁: FC = 6 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = 0        

F: FC = 7 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = +1

O₂: FC =  6 - 6 - 1/2*(2) = -1

We can see that the negative charge is in the oxygen instead of the most electronegative element, which is the F. This oxyacid is atypical.  

I hope it helps you!

What is the relationship between the internal energy of a substance and its particle movement?
ss7ja [257]

Answer: The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state. Materials are a store of internal energy , due to the motion of particles and the chemical bonds between them. When a substance is heated, its internal energy increases: the movement of its particles increases.

Answer:

The answers are in the explanation.

Explanation:

The energy required to convert 10g of ice at -10°C to water vapor at 120°C is obtained per stages as follows:

Increasing temperature of ice from -10°C - 0°C:

Q = S*ΔT*m

Q is energy, S specific heat of ice = 2.06J/g°C, ΔT is change in temperature = 0°C - -10°C = 10°C and m is mass of ice = 10g

Q = 2.06J/g°C*10°C*10g

Q = 206J

Change from solid to liquid:

The heat of fusion of water is 333.55J/g. That means 1g of ice requires 333.55J to be converted in liquid. 10g requires:

Q = 333.55J/g*10g

Q = 3335.5J

Increasing temperature of liquid water from 0°C - 100°C:

Q = S*ΔT*m

Q is energy, S specific heat of ice = 4.18J/g°C, ΔT is change in temperature = 100°C - 0°C = 100°C and m is mass of water = 10g

Q = 4.18J/g°C*100°C*10g

Q = 4180J

Change from liquid to gas:

The heat of vaporization of water is 2260J/g. That means 1g of liquid water requires 2260J to be converted in gas. 10g requires:

Q = 2260J/g*10g

Q = 22600J

Increasing temperature of gas water from 100°C - 120°C:

Q = S*ΔT*m

Q is energy, S specific heat of gaseous water = 1.87J/g°C, ΔT is change in temperature = 20°C and m is mass of water = 10g

Q = 1.87J/g°C*20°C*10g

Q = 374J

Total Energy:

206J + 3335.5 J + 4180J + 22600J + 374J =

30695.5J =

30.7kJ

I need an explanation
Rina8888 [55]
<span>The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, while the Celsius scale is not. When you convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273 degrees to the temperature. However, when you calculate a temperature change, you get the same number, whether you use the Celsius or the Kelvin scale.</span>

How is a model of an atom different from a real atom? A. A model of an atom is not as big as an actual atom. B. A model of an at
tatyana61 [14]
The option that would best contrast the real and the model atoms is letter "D. model of an atom is not as small as an actual atom". The size of an atom is said to be no more than 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers. The models are used to proper illustrate the atom's physical attributes. That is why, it needs to be bigger in size.

Identify limiting and excess reagents when 25g of nitrogen reacts with 25g of hydrogen. How many grams of ammonia gas are formed
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Nitrogen is limiting reactant while hydrogen is in excess.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of N₂ = 25 g

Mass of H₂ = 25 g

Mass of ammonia formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂    →     2NH₃

Number of moles of Nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 25 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.89 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 25 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 12.5 mol        

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with ammonia.

                   H₂            ;             NH₃

                    3             :              2

                    12.5        :            2/3×12.5 = 8.3

                 

                   N₂            ;             NH₃

                    1              :              2

                    0.89        :            2×0.89 = 1.78

The number of moles of ammonia produced by nitrogen are less thus nitrogen is limiting reactant while hydrogen is in excess.
