Answer:
In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.
Explanation:
The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.
Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.
As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.
From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.
Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.
Answer : The final pressure will be, 666.2 mmHg
Explanation :
Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
or,
where,
= initial pressure = 790 mmHg
= final pressure = ?
= initial volume = 101.2 mL
= final volume = 120 mL
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, the final pressure will be, 666.2 mmHg
