The answer is D. To put it simply, all atom wished to become stable. The only way for that is to obtain an octet structure where the outermost shell would have 8 electrons, thus being full.
Answer:
3.18 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Initial pressure (P₁): 0.985 atm
- Initial volume (V₁): 3.65 L
- Final pressure (P₂): 861.0 mmHg
Step 2: Convert P₁ to mmHg
We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg.
0.985 atm × 760 mmHg/1 atm = 749 mmHg
Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the gas
Assuming ideal behavior and constant temperature, we can calculate the final volume using Boyle's law.
P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂
V₂ = P₁ × V₁/P₂
V₂ = 749 mmHg × 3.65 L/861.0 mmHg = 3.18 L
