The formal charge of H = +1, because F in compounds can have only -1.

REY [17]3 years ago

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>

Below are shown, for five metals, reduction reactions and standard electrode potential values. which of these metals is the leas
just olya [345]
Above question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
........................................................................................................................
Solution:
Reduction potential of metal ions are provided below. Higher the value to reduction potential, greater is the tendency of metal to remain in reduced state.

In present case, reduction potential of Au is maximum, hence it is least prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is least reactive.

On other hand, reduction potential of Na is minimum, hence it is most prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is most reactive.

Chem quiz please help
GalinKa [24]

The theoretical and percentage yield for the reaction are:

  • The theoretical yield is 21 g
  • The percentage yield is 119%

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol

Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂ to produce 44 g of CO₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂

Therefore,

20 g of CH₄ will react with = (20 × 64 ) / 16 = 80 g of O₂

From the above calculation, a higher mass (i.e 80 g) of O₂ than what was given (i.e 30 g) is needed to react completely with 20 g of CH₄.

Therefore, O₂ is the limiting reactant

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂

Therefore,

30g of O₂ will react to produce = (30 × 44) / 64 = 21 g of CO₂

<h3>How to determine the percentage yield </h3>
  • Actual yield of CO₂ = 25 g
  • Theoretical yield of CO₂ = 21 g
  • Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = (Actual / Theoretical) × 100

Percentage yield = (25 / 21) ×100

Percentage yield = 119%

Are you friend with Nitrogen and Oxygen
Oduvanchick [21]

Nitrogen and oxygen do not react at ambient temperature. At high temperatures they have endothermic reactions and produces various oxides of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The difference between nitrogen and oxygen is the nitrogen has seven protons and seven electrons surrounding the nucleus. Whereas the oxygen has eight protons and electrons.

The atoms combines with one another to form molecules. The nitrogen is a inert, colorless gas with no smell or taste, its harmless to human beings.

The oxygen and nitrogen are abundant gases in the atmosphere and have similar physical properties. The oxygen (O2) is twice as soluble in water as nitrogen (N2).
