An alternative fuel, E-85, can be used in some automobiles. This fuel is a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
State the octane rating of a gasoline sample that performs the same as a mixture consisting of 92% isooctane and 8% heptane.
Identify the functional group in a molecule of ethanol in the alternative fuel E-85.
B. atomic disintegration.
(C.) conservation of energy.
D. definite proportions.
Answer:
it's C
Explanation:
Trigonal planar is the three-dimensional shape of the molecule with this Lewis structure. Hence, option C is correct.
Lewis dot structures also called electron dot structures are diagrams that describe the chemical bonding between atoms in a molecule.
According to the Lewis structure of formic acid, the carbon atom is a central atom and it has three bond pairs without any lone pair of electrons. In VSEPR theory, the double bond is treated as one bond pair for the prediction of the shape of the molecule.
Hence, formic acid will have a trigonal planar geometry around the carbon atom and tetrahedral geometry around oxygen atom as it has two lone pair and two bond pairs
Hence, option B is correct.
