The Lewis structure of Carbonic Acid (H₂CO₃) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with hydroxyl groups.

Formal Charge;
Formal charge is caculated as,

Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]

Formal charge on Carbon;

Formal charge = 4 - [ 0 + 8/2]

Formal charge = 4 - [4]

Formal charge = Zero

Choose the correct option for the redox reaction below : 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) 4H2O(l) H+ (oxid

hodyreva [135]

Explanation:

8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

To determine if a substance was reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number at the reactant and product side is compared.

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive). When reduction occurs, an element gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases or is reduced (becomes more negative).

H+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 1 Choose...

There is an increase in oxidation number from 0 to 1. This means H+ was oxidized.

MnO4- (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 2 Choose...

In chemistry, an oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons

MnO4- is a strong oxidizing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 3 Choose...

A reducing agent means it will itself get oxidized. In this reaction, Fe2+ is the reducing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 4 Choose...

Oxidized

O in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 5 Choose...

There is no change in oxidation number of , so it was neither reduced nor was it oxidized.

Mn in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 6 Choose...

There is a decreaase in oxidation number from +7 to +2. This means reduction.

Explain why different liquids boil at the different temperatures

Gennadij [26K]

The boiling point of the fluid depends on the intermolecular forces between the fluid atoms and molécules, as these forces must be disrupted to switch from a fluid to a gas. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the point of boiling.

Write E in the blank if the material is heterogeneous or O if it is homogeneous.

Advocard [28]

Answer/Explanation:

Wood: E

Freshly brewed black coffee: O

Water: O

Lucky Charms: E

Salt: O

Dirt: E

Sausage and mushroom pizza: E

Air: O

Milk: O

Gold: O

Any mixture that looks the same through the substance is homogenous. The different parts are unable to be visibly seen. (Any periodic element is homogenous)

Any mixture that can be easily determined a mix and cannot be evenly separated or dispersed is heterogenous.
