Answer:
24 atm.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 240 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 2 atm
Final volume (V₂) = 20 L
Temperature = constant
Final pressure (P₂) =?
The final pressure required, can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
2 × 240 = P₂ × 20
480 = P₂ × 20
Divide both side by 20
P₂ = 480 / 20
P₂ = 24 atm
Thus, the final pressure required is 24 atm.
There is 1 H atom: (1)(+1) = +1 The oxidation number of O is -2. There are 4 O atoms here: (4)(-2) = -8 So the oxidation state of Cl is +7.
NOTE: The maximum positive oxidation number for chlorine is +7,<span> the same as its group number (VII).</span>
A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In chemistry, a formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.
The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.
