What is the formal charge of carbon in CO?|C≡O|​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

FC of C = -1

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Lewis Dot Structures
  • Resonance Structures
  • Formal Charge: FC = # of valence e⁻ - # of lone e⁻ - # of bonds

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Carbon (C)

  • 4 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

Oxygen (O)

  • 6 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

<u>Step 2: FC of C</u>

  1. Substitute:                    FC = 4e⁻ - 2e⁻ - 3
  2. Subtract:                       FC = -1

It’s true:)
The subscript on chemical equations tells you how many atoms the elements have. If there is no subscript then there is only 1 atom.

Of the colors on the visible light spectrum, which one has the longest wavelength, lowest frequency, and lowest energy?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Violet - shortest wavelength, around 400-420 nanometers with highest frequency. They carry the most energy.

Indigo - 420 - 440 nm

Blue - 440 - 490 nm

Green - 490 - 570 nm

Yellow - 570 - 585 nm

Orange - 585 - 620 nm

Red - longest wavelength, at around 620 - 780 nanometers with lowest frequency and least amount of energy

Therefore, <em>red </em>is the answer you're looking for.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.210 M in nitrous acid (HNO2) and 0.290 M in potassium nitrite (KNO2). The acid dissocia
jeka94

Answer:

pH = 3.49

Explanation:

We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HNO₂) and its conjugate base (NO₂⁻ coming from KNO₂). We can calculate the pH  of a buffer ssytem using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.

pH = pKa + log [base] / [acid]

pH = -log Ka + log [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

pH = -log 4.50 × 10⁻⁴ + log 0.290 M / 0.210 M

pH = 3.49
