Answer:
The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L
Explanation:
Boyle's law establishes the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas when the temperature is constant, so that the pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container. That is, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.
Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:
Pressure * Volume = constant
or P * V = k
Considering an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is true:
P1* V1= P2*V2
In this case:
- P1= 20.1 L
- V1= 1520 torr
- P2= 760 torr
- V2= ?
Replacing:
20.1 L* 1520 torr= 760 torr* V2
Solving:

V2= 40.2 L
<em><u>The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L</u></em>

Student B because it requires a hypothesis
1) divide each percentage by the relative atomic mass of the element
2) divide all results by the smallest number
3)multiply by a whole number to get the simplest whole number ratio (if necessary)
that is to say:
Na S O
32.37÷23 22.58÷32 45.05÷16
= 1.407 = 0.7056 = 2.816 (to 4 significant figures)
the smallest number here is 0.7056 so:
1.407÷0.7056 0.7056÷0.7056 2.816÷0.7056
=1.99 approx.2 = 1 3.99 approx. 4
here there is no need to carry out step 3 as ratio obtained is already a simplest whole number ratio
so empirical formula is: Na₂SO₄
Alkali metals have the lowest electronegativities, while halogens have the highest.
