Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less stable than those of the other halogens. bonding theory, however, does allow one to propose structures for these acids and use formal charges for the evaluation of these structures. for a molecule of fluorous acid, the atoms are arranged as hofo. (note: in this oxyacid, the placement of fluorine is an exception to the rule of putting the more electronegative atom in a terminal position.) what is the formal charge on each of the atoms? enter the formal charges in the same order as the atoms are listed. express your answers as charges separated by comma. for example, a positive one charge would be written as +1.

Formal Charge for H, O, F, O = 0,0,1,-1

While an octet of electrons is attained by the oxygen and fluorine atoms in this structure and the formal charges add to zero, having to assign a formal charge of +1 to such an electronegative atom as fluorine may indicate that such a structure is not likely to occur. In fact, fluorine commonly only forms one oxyacid, HOF.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different. let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones). now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first. for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours. so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
