The answer is false methane is emitted from coal
Hydrogen and Oxygen by themselves have 1 and 6 valence electrons, respectively. 8 valence electrons is stable, so the atoms form bonds with each other to achieve 8 valence e-.
1 H atom + 1 H atom + 1 O atom = 8 valence e-
The total pressure = 1.402 atm
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
Total pressure = partial pressure of gas A + partial pressure of gas B + partial pressure of third gas
partial pressure of gas A= 0.205 atm
Partial pressure of gas B =0.658 atm
partial pressure for third gas is calculated using ideal gas equation
that is PV=nRT where,
p(pressure)=? atm
V(volume) = 8.65 L
n(moles)= 0.200 moles
R(gas constant)=0.0821 L.atm/mol.k
T(temperature) = 11°c into kelvin =11+273 =284 k
make p the subject of the formula by diving both side by V
p =nRT/v
p = [(0.200 moles x 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K x 284 K)/8.65L)] =0.539 atm
Total pressure is therefore = 0.205 atm +0.658 atm +0.539 atm
=1.402 atm
