The Lewis structures for formate ion and carbon dioxide are shown in the attached pictures. As you can see, the formate ion consists of one C=O bond and one C-O bond, while carbon dioxide has two C=O bonds. Double bonds are weaker, hence, longer compared to single bonds. Therefore, the C-O bonds in the formate ion is shorter than those in carbon dioxide.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

ΔG <0 , ΔH > 0 , ΔS > 0 .

Explanation:

From the data given in question , the reaction is a spontaneous process , hence , the value of change in gibbs free energy would be negative , ΔG <0

And , on dissolution process , the temperature of the water decreases , i.e. , it is an endothermic process , i.e. , the change in enthalphy value is positive , ΔH > 0

And , during the process of dissolution , the ammonia salt break does to ions , i.e. , the randomness increases , hence the ΔS > 0

Is carbon dioxide a iconic or covalent compound

igomit [66]

It is a covalant bond. Because any compound made up of nonmetals will be covalant. Compounds made up of a non metal and metal willl form a ionic compund. :)
