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.

"how many molecules of carbon dioxide exit your lungs when you exhale 5.00 × 10−2 mol of carbon dioxide, co2?"

IrinaVladis [17]

We are going to use Avogadro's constant to calculate how many molecules of

carbons dioxide exist in lungs:

when 1 mole of CO2 has 6.02 x 10^23 molecules, so how many molecules in

CO2 when the number of moles is 5 x 10^-2

number of molecules = moles of CO2 * Avogadro's number

= 5 x 10^-2 * 6.02 x 10^23

= 3 x 10^22 molecules

∴ There are 3 x 10^22 molecules in CO2 exist in lungs

6.0L of a gas exert a pressure of 2.5 atm. When the pressure is increased to 10.0atm what is the new volume of the gas

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{6 \times 2.5}{10} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

How was the plum pudding model different from models that came after it

My name is Ann [436]

Plum-pudding model is different from the model that came after it as the Plum pudding model did not encounter the concept of nucleus it simply says compares atom with a pudding in which electrons are spread around as rasins in a pudding while the model that came after that is Rutherford's model explain that the atom that having nucleus that serves as a center of the atom.
