Answer:

b. A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs indictates that the molecule will be polar unless its molecular geometry is linear or square planar. In the case of H2S, its shape is bent due to the lone pair and it is a slightly polar molecule.

What is the pressure of 0.60 moles of a gas if its volume is 10.0 liters at 35.0°C
eduard

Answer: 1.52 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of gas V = 10.0L

Temperature T = 35.0°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(35.0°C + 273 = 308K)

Pressure P = ?

Number of moles = 0.6 moles

Molar gas constant R is a constant with a value of 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

p x 10.0L = 0.6 moles x (0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1 x 308K)

p x 10.0L = 15.17 atm L

p = 15.17 atm L / 10.0L

p = 1.517 atm (round to the nearest hundredth as 1.52 atm)

Thus, the pressure of the gas is 1.52 atm
