Answer:
1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.
2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg
Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg
Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?
The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:
Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ
592 = 261 + Pₙ
Collect like terms
592 – 261 = Pₙ
331 = Pₙ
Pₙ = 331 mmHg
Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg
Answer:
B only
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR principle, the electron bond pairs and the lone pairs on the middle atom help us predict the structure of the molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the position of the nucleus and its electrons. The electrons and the nucleus settle in positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.
