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.

Answer:
it has made the study of chemistry systematic and easy. it acts as an aid to memory
The balanced chemical reaction:
K2SO4 + O2 = 2KO2 + SO2
Assuming that the reaction is complete, all of the potassium sulfate is consumed. We relate the substances using the chemical reaction. We calculate as follows:
7.20 g K2SO4 ( 1 mol / 174.26 g) ( 1 mol O2 / 1 mol K2SO4 ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 1.32 g O2 consumed in the reaction.
