So,
Formate has a resonating double bond.
In molecular orbital theory, the resonating electrons are actually delocalized and are shared between the two oxygens. So the carbon-oxygen bonds can be described as 1.5-bonds (option B). I'm not sure if option C is correct, however, because the likelihood of both delocalized electrons being in the area of one oxygen atom is less than 50%.<span />
Answer:
D
Explanation:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement and spreaded all over. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement and slightly spreaded. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern and not spreaded at all.
Answer:
212.8 dm^3 or L
Explanation:
1 mole of any sub=6.02×10^23 molecules
X mole of O2=5.7×10^24 molecules
X mole=5.7×10^24/6.02×10^23
=9.5 mole
1 mole of any gas at stp=22.4 dm^3
Therefore, 9.5 mole of O2 will be 22.4×9.5
=212.8 dm^3
We are given with
136 g P4
excess oxygen
The complete combustion reaction is
P4 + 5O2 => 2P2O5
Converting the amount of P4 to moles
136/123.9 = 1.098 moles
Using stoichiometry
moles P2O5 = 1.098 x 2 = 2.195 moles P2O5
Answer: He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.
Explanation:
Chlorine is used to disinfect the pools as it produces hypochlorous acid in water. This hypochlorous acid is unstable and gives hydrochloric acid and nascent oxygen which is used to disinfect.

The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.

Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.
