Diagram A shows the Lewis structure (LS) of CH_2O. The formal charge on each atom is zero.
To get the formal charge (FC) on the atoms, cut each bond in half, as in <em>Diagram B</em>. Each atom gets the electrons on its side of the cut.
Formal charge = valence electrons in isolated atom - electrons on bonded atom
FC = VE - BE
<em>On O:
</em>
VE = 6
BE = 2 lone pairs 2 + 2 bonding electrons = 4 + 2 = 6
FC = 6 – 6 = 0.
<em>On H:
</em>
VE = 1
BE = 1 bonding electron
FC = 1 – 1 = 0
<em>On C:
</em>
VE = 4
BE = 1 in each single bond + 2 in the double bond = 2 + 2 = 4
FC = 4 - 4 = 0
Answer:
ithink it is c but i dont my ghess
Explanation:
i want to do thos for the points tbh
<span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required
Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.
theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>
Magnesium would be more reactive.
