Student #2: Protons determine the atomic number, and valence electrons show what period the element is in, hope this helps :)
Answer : The temperature of the gas is, 245.9 K
Explanation :
To calculate the temperature of gas we are using ideal gas equation:

where,
P = pressure of gas = 2770.96 torr = 3.646 atm
Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 torr)
V = volume of gas = 88.84 L
T = temperature of gas = ?
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K
w = mass of gas = 609.64 g
M = molar mass of
gas = 38 g/mole
Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:


Therefore, the temperature of the gas is, 245.9 K
Answer:
Decomposition
Explanation:
H2CO3 Breaks down to H2O and CO2
Hey there! Hello!
In order for water to be formed, or for any reaction to occur, there needs to be something that splits the current bonds of hydrogen and oxygen up. In this case, some sort of activation energy is required.
Hydrogen and oxygen are not found as single molecules in nature. They're found as 2 molecules linked together, as H2 and O2. An activation energy, such as heat, or some sort of catalyst needs to be used in order to split the two molecules up and make them link with one another.
What happens afterwards is a chemical reaction that involves the valence electrons of oxygen (which has 6 on the outermost shell) and hydrogen (which has two on the outermost shell). The oxygen wants to have an octet (8 valence electrons) total, so it shares with the hydrogen, which is already satisfied with it's two valence electrons (according to the nature of hydrogen).
But because there has to be a total of four molecules involved, two molecules of water are going to be produced as a result.

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you need further clarification. :-)
