That is because one of the Hydrogens of Formic acid is a part of the functional group (COOH). so to make sure the reader understands that, they second H is written separately

What is the energy of a microwave photon that has a frequency of 9.86 x 1012 Hz?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6.533 × 10^-21J

Explanation:

The energy of the microwave photon can be calculated using:

E = hf

Where;

E = energy of photon (J)

h = Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J/s)

f = frequency (9.86 x 10^12 Hz)

Hence, E = hf

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 9.86 x 10^12

E = 65.33 × 10^(-34 + 12)

E = 65.33 × 10^(-22)

E = 6.533 × 10^-21J

The energy of the microwave photon is

6.533 × 10^-21J

What is the angle between two of the nitrogen-hydrogen bonds in the ammonium (NH4+) ion?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

109° 27'

Explanation:

The ammonium ion is tetrahedral in shape, all the HNH bonds are exactly at the tetrahedral bond angle since there are only bond pairs in the structure and no lone pairs. Recall that lone pairs decrease the bond angke from the ideal value in a tetrahedron due to higher repulsion.
