Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially,  only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}  (X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1....(1)

Tp_1= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

Tp_2= Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

On rearranging, we get:

Tp_2=2\times Tp_1

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³
