Answer:

The formal charge on H atom in HF = 0

Explanation:

Formal charge is the charge on an atom when all the chemical bonds that are formed by that atom are formed by equal sharing of electrons.

<u>The formal charge of an atom is given by the equation:</u>

Formal charge = [Total number of valence electrons in the ground state (n)] - [Number of non-bonding valence electrons on atom in a molecule (N)] - [Number of shared or bonding electrons (B) ÷ 2]

<u>To find out the formal charge on hydrogen (H) atom in H-F molecule:</u>

For H atom in ground state: n = 1

For H atom in H-F molecule: N = 0 and B = 2

Since, Formal charge = n - N - (B ÷ 2)

So, The formal charge on H atom in HF = 1 - 0 - (2÷ 2) = 1 - 1 = 0

<em><u>Therefore, the formal charge on H atom in HF = 0</u></em>

If 10.57 g of magnesium reacts completely with 6.96 g of oxygen, what is the percent by mass of oxygen in magnesium oxide? Round
Deffense [45]

Answer:

39.7 %

Explanation:

magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide

   10.57 g         6.96 g               17.53 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.

Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

The formula for mass percent is

% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %

In this case,

% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %

Mass of O = 6.96 g

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100

% O = 0.3970 × 100

% O = 39.7 %
