Answer : The new volume of the air is, 6.83 L
Explanation :
Charles' Law : It states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
where,
are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.
are the final volume and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Therefore, the new volume of the air is, 6.83 L
If you'd like the full working, here it is:
I calculated this by using the formula triangle.
Mass
Number Formula
Of moles Mass
To calculate the number if moles in a substance, you need to divide the Mass by the Formula mass. You get the formula mass by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the compound together. In this situation, H2O, it would be two hydrogen molecules plus one oxygen molecule which is 2 + 16. This is because the atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1 and the atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.
Now that we have the Formula mass we can go ahead and do the calculation since we already have the Mass. You do as follows:
Mass divided by Formula mass which is in this case - 25 divided by 18
By doing this calculation you will get the answer which is 1.38 moles which can be rounded to 1.4
Hope this helps :)
Carbon has 4 valence electrons so to gain a noble gas electron configuration, which has 8 valence electrons and is the most electrically stable, carbon needs 4 more electrons.
