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 />

Determine the approximate amount of potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP, that you will need to neutralize 6.00 ml of 0.100 M NaOH.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

potassium hydrogen phthalate KHP MOLAR MASS = 204.233 glmol

to get 1000 ml

Molar concentration = Mass concentration/Molar Mass

mass concentration = molar concentration x molar mass

mass concentration=0.1 M,

molar mass= 204.233 g/mol

so to get 1L

mass conc = 204.233 x 0.1

= 20.4233g  for 1L or 1000 ml

to get 6.00 ml

if 20.4233g is for 1000ml

then to 6.00 ml

= 20.4233 x 6 / 1000

= 0.123g for 6.00 ml

according to the equation below

NaOH(aq) + KHC8H4O4(aq) --> KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

number of moles of NaOH is equal to that of KHP

so the same amount will be needed too, which is

= 0.123g

What is the period number in which helium is found
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Helium is the second element on the periodic table. It is located in period 1 and group 18 or 8A on the righthand side of the table. This group contains the noble gases, which are the most chemically inert elements on the periodic table. Each He atom has two protons and usually two neutrons and two electrons.
