Answer:

CHO2- ion

Explanation:

We have the lewis structure of a formate-ion here

This is CHO2-.

The carbon atom is the central atom in the structure. It's the least electronegative atom (C). Carbon has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

The carbon will bind with 1 hydrogen atom, this will form 1 single bond, because hydrogen has 1 valence electron.

The carbon will bind with oxygen via a double bond.

Since carbon has only 4 valence electrons, it can only form 1 bond with the other oxygen atom.

There will formed 1 double bond between C and O and 1 single bond between C and O resulting in a negative charged O-atom.

This means there are two resonance structures. for the CHO2- ion

mojhsa [17]

The half reactions as they occur at each electrode

is as follows

at the anode Sn(s) =sn^2+(aq) + 2e -
at the cathode 2 ag^+(aq) + 2e - = 2Ag (s)

net cell reaction = Sn (s) + 2Ag^+(aq) = sn^2+ (aq) + 2 Ag (s)

B vitamins are a group of water soluble compounds that are important in cell metabolism. Each one has a different chemical struc

Tom [10]

Molar mass of vitamin B1, C12H17N4OS = 265.34 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B2, C17H20N4O6 = 376.37 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B5, C9H17NO5 = 219.24 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B6, C8H11NO3 = 169.18 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B7, C10H16N2O3S = 244.31 g/ mol

Now,

Order of increasing molar mass = B6 < B5 < B7 < B1 < B2
