To illustrate the Lewis structure,
P has 5 valence electrons
O has 6 valence electrons (each for 4 oxygen)
And finally, for every negative charge, there is an additional valence electron
We should add these all up = 5 + 24 + 3 = 32 valence electrons
With this, we can be guided to illustrate the lewis structure as P as central atom and the 3 oxygen each with a single bond with P and 1 oxygen with a double bond with P. We place the valence electrons until octet rule is satisfied,
we will be left with 12 lone pairs for phosphate ion.
We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.
They will stay the same through the laws of conservation of mass even when they have changed state so they will have the reactant of Ice will be the same amount as the product of water
Initial Conditions:
Volume= v1= 417 cm³
Temperature= T1 = 278 K
Final Conditions:
Temperature= T2 = 231K
Volume = v2 =?
Use the general gas equation;
P1*v1/T1 = P2*v2/T2
As, the temperature is constant;
So,
v1/T1 = v2/T2
417/278 = v2/231
v2= 346.5 cm³
