Answer:

Lewis Structure:

Explanation:

CO2 Lewis Structure

So CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16. So, total valence electrons are 16. Carbon is the least electronegative that means it stays at the center. So, put the Carbon in the middle and then set the oxygen either side of that.

An unknown quantity of methane gas, CHA, is held in a 2.00-liter container at 77°C. The pressure inside the container is 3.00 am

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$0.21\text{ mol}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of moles of methane in the container

From the ideal gas law:

$\begin{gathered} PV\text{ = nRT} \\ n\text{ = }\frac{PV}{RT} \end{gathered}$

where:

P is the pressure inside the container which is 3 atm

V is the volume of the container which is 2 L

R is the molar gas constant which is 0.0821 Latm/mol.k

T is the temperature in Kelvin (we convert the temperature in Celsius by adding 273 : 273 + 77 = 350 K)

n is the number of moles that we want to calculate

Substituting the values, we have it that:

$n=\text{ }\frac{3\times2}{0.0821\text{ }\times350}\text{ = 0.21 mol}$
