Since the question mentions a change in pressure from 1 atm to 6.73 atm, which triggers a change in volume, then it's premise is Boyle's Law, which notes that pressure is inversely proportional to volume (as volume decreases, pressure increases, and vice versa). As such, Boyle's Equation can be used to determine the initial pressure of the air. Also keen to note is that the Pressure at STP is 1 atm.
Boyle's Equation:      P₁V₁    =    P₂V₂

Since the initial pressure (P₁) is 1 atm, the final pressure (P₂) is 6.73 atm and the final volume is 995 mL, then we can substitute these into the equation to find the initial volume (V₁).

                                                     P₁V₁    =    P₂V₂
∴ by substituting the known values,
                                 ⇒       (1 atm) (V₁ )  =  (6.73 atm)(995 mL)
                                 
                                ⇒                      V₁  =  (6,696.35 atm  mL) ÷ ( 1 atm)
       
                                ⇒                      V₁  =  6,696.35 mL  
                                                                             
<span>Thus, the original volume of this gas in mL is </span>≈ 6,696.35 mL

Write about the characteristics of carbon compounds:
mart [117]

The characteristics of carbon compounds are they exist with different structures in which the atoms are arranged differently and it forms more compounds than other elements combined.

Explanation:

The carbon atom has atomic number 6 which represents the number of electrons. It is represented by C and it is a non- metal. It has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. They are smaller in size so that it can fit in to larger molecules.

It is the only element that can form different compounds because each carbon atoms can form four chemical bonds to other atoms.

The structure of carbon atom is represented with its atomic number 6. The first two electrons are present in inner shell and the remaining four are present in the second shell.

The carbon combines with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen to form many molecules for cellular function. Carbon and hydrogen combine to form hydrocarbon chains and rings.

For example the structural formula for Methane (CH4)
