(a) Give the H-C-O bond angle in methyl formate H-C-O bond angle methyl formate (b) One dihedral angle in methyl formate relates the plane containing the O-C- O bonds to the plane y two structures of methyl formate: one in which this dihedral angle containing the Co-onds, identand the other in which it is 180 0° dihedral angle 80" dihedral angle.

Explanation:

The bond angle is said to be the angle between two atoms near or around the same atom for a given covalent compound. However, a dihedral angle is known as the angle formed between two planes. Bond angles are usually planar while dihedral angles are interplanar.  

The diagram below shows the structure of each compound.

the grams   of   barium that   are in   2.3 x 10^23   atoms of barium   is   52.4 g (answer c)

    calculation

mass = moles   of ba   x molar   mass of ba

  molar mass of ba from periodic table=   137.3 g/mol

  use the   avogadro's law   constant   to   calculate the moles of barium

  that   is     1 mole =   6.02   x 10^23 atoms

                    ? moles = 2.3 x 10^23   atoms

by cross   multiplication

=(1 mole   x 2.3x 10^23 atoms)   / 6.02   x10^23 atoms)=   0.382   moles

mass   is therefore = 137.3   g/mol x 0.382 mol = 52.4 ( answer c)

explanation:

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.
