Consider the resonance structures of formate. the first lewis structure of formate has a central carbon atom. a hydrogen atom an

d two osygen atoms are bonded to the carbon atom. the bond between carbon and hydrogen is a single bond. one of the bonds between carbon and oxygen is a single bond and the other bond is a double bond. the single bonded oxygen has three lone pairs of electrons and a negative one charge. the double bonded oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons. the second lewis structure of formate has all of the same atom connectivities, but the double and single bonds between oxygen and carbon are switched from the first strucutre. select the true statements about the resonance structures. the actual structure of formate switches back and forth between the two resonance forms. each carbon–oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond. each oxygen atom has a double bond 50% of the time. the actual structure of formate is an average of the two resonance forms.

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 />

Boyle’s law gives the relationship between pressure and volume of gases. It states that at constant temperature the pressure of gas is inversely proportional to volume of gas.
PV = k
Where P is pressure V is volume and k is constant
P1V1 = P2V2
Parameters at STP are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
P1 - standard pressure - 1.0 atm
Substituting the values in the equation
1.0 atm x 5.00 L = P x 15.0 L
P = 0.33 atm
New pressure is 0.33 atm

What is the density of an<br> object that has a mass of<br> 120 g and volume of 5 ml?
Viktor [21]

The density of an  object ρ = 24 g/ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of an object = 120 g

volume = 5 ml

Required

The density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume  

Input the value :

ρ = 120 g : 5 ml

ρ = 24 g/ml
