an atom will gain or lose electrons to obtain 8 electrons in it's outer shell. In other words, elements want to reach an electron configuration of the nearest noble gas.
Answer: 72.93 litres
Explanation:
Given that:
Volume of gas (V) = ?
Temperature (T) = 24.0°C
Convert 24.0°C to Kelvin by adding 273
(24.0°C + 273 = 297K)
Pressure (P) = 1.003 atm
Number of moles (n) = 3 moles
Molar gas constant (R) is a constant with a value of 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1
Then, apply ideal gas equation
pV = nRT
1.003 atm x V = 3.00 moles x 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1 x 297K
1.003 atm•V = 73.15 atm•L
Divide both sides by 1.003 atm
1.003 atm•V/1.003 atm = 73.15 atm•L/1.003 atm
V = 72.93 L
Thus, the volume of the gas is 72.93 litres
it means two oxygen atoms
