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 much energy is needed to completely boil a 5.05g sample of water?
Keith_Richards [23]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the amount of heat energy that would be required in order to boil 5.05g of water is that of 11.4kJ of heat.

<h3>Why does it take this much energy to boil the water?</h3>

We arrive at this number by taking into account the energy needed to boil 1g of water to its vaporization point. This results in the use of 2260 J of heat energy. We then take this number and multiply it by the total grams of water being heated, in this case, 5.05g, which gives us our answer of 11.4 kJ of energy required.

Therefore, we can confirm that the amount of heat energy that would be required in order to boil 5.05g of water is that of 11.4kJ of heat.

An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(b) How does the group to which E belongs affect the properties of the oxid
xz_007 [3.2K]

Of all the elements, fluorine is the most electronegative and reactive. Fluorine is a diatomic, pale yellow, extremely corrosive, combustible gas with a strong smell. The lightest halogen is it. It produces oxygen and the incredibly corrosive hydrofluoric acid when it combines strongly with water.

<h3>The properties of the oxide and the fluoride?</h3>
  • 1. A mixture of oxygen fluorides with an atomic ratio OF in the range of 1.1-2.04 is generated when fluorine and oxygen mixes are easily circulated through a silent electric discharge.
  • Depending on where you reside in the UK, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is present in water in variable concentrations. It is added to many types of toothpaste and, in some locations, the water supply through a procedure known as fluoridation because it can aid in the prevention of tooth decay.
  • Fluoride stops tooth decay by strengthening the enamel's resistance to acid attack. They also quicken the process of good minerals accumulating in the enamel, further delaying the onset of deterioration. Studies also suggest that fluoride may occasionally be able to stop tooth decay that has already begun.
