The chemical formula of a carbonate ion is CO3^2-. It is an AX3 system which means it take the trigonal planar shape. There would be two single bonds of C-O and one double bond C-O in order for C to agree with the octet rule. Two minus charges are equally distributed to the three oxygen atoms so that each oxygen of the carbonate ion would have a charge of negative 2/3.
B= CH2O
empirical formula using the simplest ratio of atoms in the compound
Its a steady state reached when a reversible reaction at the same rate in both directions and has an unchanging ratio of products and reactants.
Answer:
H2SO4
Explanation:
H2SO4 is actually one of the strongest acids, coming to a pH value very close to 1. Acids transfer their hydrogen ions to other substances, such as water, and usually have hydrogen in their formula. In this case, H2SO4 has hydrogen in its formula and is the acid in this case.
