This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.
Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
Explanation:
According to ideal gas equation:
P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)
V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L
n = number of moles = ?
R = gas constant =
T =temperature =
According to stoichiometry:
4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride
Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = 
moles of carbon tetrachloride
volume of carbon tetrachloride =
Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
Answer: 1.59atm
Explanation:
We have that for the Question "Calculate the final pressure of the gas mixture, assuming that the container volume does not change."
it can be said that
The final pressure of the gas mixture, assuming that the container volume does not change =
From the question we are told
A container of N2O3(g) has a pressure of 0.265 atm. When the absolute temperature of the N2O3(g) is tripled, the gas completely decomposes, producing NO2(g) and NO(g).
Answer is: elements are always combined in the same proportion by mass.
Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
For example, nitrogen(I) oxide N₂O; m(N) : m(O) = 2·14 : 16 = 7 : 4.
Another example, water (H₂O) is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom:
m(H) : m(O) = 2·1 : 16 = 1: 8.
