Carbon dioxide has 4 lone pairs of electrons. During bonding, the bonds accounts for 8 electrons of the 16 valence electrons the molecule has. The remaining 8 valence electrons will be placed as lone pairs, two on each oxygen atom. As a result carbon dioxide molecule has a total 4  lone pairs of electrons. Dicarbon monoxide is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.  A lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and is some times called a non-bonding pair. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms.

Zinaida [17]
PV = nRT 
R = 0.0821 L * atm / mol * K 
(ideal gas constant) 

First, convert 735 torr to atm. Divide by 760. 
(1 atm = 760 torr) 

735 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 0.967 atm 
Then, convert 37 C to Kelvin. Just add 273. 
37 C = 310K 

n = PV / RT 
= (0.967)(2.07) / (0.0821)(310) 
= 0.0786 mol 

<span>0.0786 mol * 6.02 * 10^23 molecules / 1 mol = 4.73 * 10^22 molecules </span>

The gas in a sealed container has an absolute pressure of 125.4 kilopascals. If the air around the container is at a pressure of
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C. 25.6 kPa

Explanation:

The Gauge pressure is defined as the amount of pressure in a fluid that exceeds the amount of pressure in the atmosphere.

As such, the formula will be,

PG = PT – PA

Where,

PG is Gauge Pressure

PT is Absolute Pressure

PA is Atmospheric Pressure

Inputted in the formula,

PG = 125.4 - 99.8

PG = 25.6 kPa

The gauge pressure inside the container is 25.6kPa which is option C.
