Answer:

linear

Explanation:

If we look at the compound, we will understand that the underlined carbon is in sp hybridization. Recall that sp hybridization leads to a C-C bond angle of about 180°. When two chemical species are at a bond angle if 180°, then the both bonding groups are found to be on a straight line.

Hence, for any carbon in a triply bonded state or indeed any carbon atom that is in an sp will exhibit a linear geometry according to the Valence Shell Electron Pair repulsion Theory since there are two electron pairs present.

Be sure to answer all parts. In the average adult male, the residual volume (RV) of the lungs, the volume of air remaining after

Alenkinab [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The number of moles of air present in the RV is 0.047 moles

<u>For b:</u> The number of molecules of gas is $2.83\times 10^{22}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For a:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the air = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the air = 1200 mL = 1.2 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

T = Temperature of the air = $37^oC=[37+273]K=310K$

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of air = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00atm\times 1.2L=n_{air}\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 310K\\n_{air}=\frac{1.00\times 1.2}{0.0821\times 310}=0.047mol$

Hence, the number of moles of air present in the RV is 0.047 moles

<u>For b:</u>

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

So, 0.047 moles of air will contain $(0.047\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.83\times 10^{22}$ number of gas molecules.

Hence, the number of molecules of gas is $2.83\times 10^{22}$
