Answer : Option 1) The true statement is each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond and the actual structure of format is an average of the two resonance forms.
Explanation : The actual structure of formate is found to be a resonance hybrid of the two resonating forms. The actual structure for formate do not switches back and forth between two resonance forms.
The O atom in the formate molecule with one bond and three lone pairs, in the resonance form left with reference to the attached image, gets changed into O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs.
Again, the O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs on the resonance form left, changed into O atom with one bond and three lone pairs. It concludes that each carbon-oxygen bond is neither a single bond nor a double bond; each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.
Also, it is seen that each oxygen atom does not have neither a double bond nor a single bond 50% of the time.
Answer:
They form a covalent bond
So we know the number of moles of each compound. If we need to know the concentration we must know the number of moles that the compounds react with...
Answer:
The answer to your question is 7.4 moles of Aluminum
Explanation:
Data
moles of Al = ?
moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.7
Balanced chemical reaction
4 Al + 3 O₂ ⇒ 2 Al₂O₃
To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation.
4 moles of Aluminum ----------------- 2 moles of Al₂O₃
x ----------------- 3.7 moles of Al₂O₃
x = (3.7 x 4) / 2
x = 14.8 / 2
x = 7.4 moles of Aluminum
