Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.
Solution:
Initially, only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.
(
) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)
....(1)
= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.
Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:
partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :
Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.
= Total pressure of the mixture.
from (1)
On rearranging, we get:
The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.
Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal
Explanation :
As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.
There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.
But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.
Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal
