Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember that in the lewis structures all atoms must have<u> 8 electrons</u>. And each atom would have a different value of <u>valence electrons</u>:

Carbon => 4

Oxygen=> 6

Hydrogen=> 1

Additionally, for the <u>hybridizations</u> we have to remember that:

Sp^3=> 4 single bonds

Sp^2=> 1 double bond

Sp^1=> 1 double bond

With this in mind, the formaldehyde and formic acid would have Sp^2 carbons and the ethanol an Sp^3 carbon.

Finally, for the oxidation state. We have to remember that <u>if we have more bonds with oxygen, we will have more oxidation</u>. Therefore, the carbon that has more oxidation is the one in the formic acid (we have several bonds with oxygen).

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

How many atoms of S are there?
jonny [76]
Atoms of sulfur = 9.60⋅g32.06⋅g⋅mol−1×6.022×1023⋅mol−1 . Because the units all cancel out, the answer is clearly a number, ≅2×1023 as required.

Match the following
irina1246 [14]

The order would be coefficient, law of conservation of mass, products, and reactants respectively.

<h3>Word matching</h3>

The number written in front of a chemical symbol in an equation is called a coefficient.

The total mass of a system being unchanged is known as the law of conservation of mass

The substances made in chemical reactions are called products.

The starting materials in chemical reactions are called reactants.

What is the limiting reactant in the following equation? How much Fe2O3 will be produced if 2.1 g of Fe with 2.1 g of O2?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Fe is limiting, and it will produce .0188 mols of Fe2O3

Explanation:

after you convert both Fe and O2 to mols by using their molar mass, you see there is less Fe than O2 so that is your limiting reactant. To find the amount of Fe2O3 you devide the limiting reactant by it's coefeciant (4) then multiply it by the products coefficant (2). Let me know if you have any questions
