Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s

table than those of the other halogens. Bonding theory, however, does allow one to propose structures for these acids and use formal charges for the evaluation of these structures. For a molecule of fluorous acid, the atoms are arranged as HOFO. (Note: In this oxyacid, the placement of fluorine is an exception to the rule of putting the more electronegative atom in a terminal position.) What is the formal charge on each of the atoms? Enter the formal charges in the same order as the atoms are listed.

We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
      ..    ..    ..
H - O - F - O:
      ··   ··    ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:

Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]

H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0

O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0

F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1

O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1

As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) Exothermic

B) (1) -410.5 kJ  (2) -98.1 kcal

C) -976.44 kJ

Explanation:

A) By the value of ΔH (-1236 kJ), we can see that it's negative, it means that the heat is being lost by the reaction, and, because of that, the reaction is exothermic.

B) The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol, so, at 15.3 grams, the number of moles is:

n = mass/molar mass

n = 15.3/46.07

n = 0.3321 mol

By the equation

1 mol of ethanol           ----------------------- -1236 kJ

0.3321 mol of ethanol ----------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

x = -410.5 kJ

1 kJ --------------- 0.2390 kcal

-410 kJ ---------- y

y = -98.10 kcal

C) The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, so the number of moles at 42.7 g is:

n = 42.7/18

n = 2.37 moles

By the equation

3 moles of water     ----------------------- -1236 kJ

2.37 moles of water --------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

3x = -2929.32

x = -976.44 kJ

Fran hangs three balloons from strings. She gives the first balloon a positive charge. She gives the second balloon a negative c
fgiga [73]

Explanation: We are given three balloon carrying different charges: One having positive charge, one having negative charge and one having no charge.

When we bring positive rod near these three balloons, all of them behave differently.

According to the Coulomb's Law:

Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

  • When we bring positive rod towards the balloon having positive charge, the balloon will move away from the rod, because like charges repel each other.
  • When we bring positive rod near negative balloon, the balloon will be attracted to the rod because unlike charges attract each other.
  • But, when we bring positive rod towards the balloon having no charge, the charges will be induced in the balloon. Although the balloon is neutral in nature but it will still carry some +ve or -ve charges. So, when the positive rod is bought near neutral ball, the negative side of the balloon will get attracted towards the rod and positive side will be repelled. From this, we say that the rod has induced some charges in the balloon.

At elevations higher than sea level the atmospheric pressure is ___ than the atmospheric pressure at sea level
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

lower

Explanation:

The higher the sea level, the lower the atmospheric pressure. This is due to the density of air decreasing as the altitude increases.
