Answer:
See images attached and explanation
Explanation:
I have drawn three possible structures of ZX2. We have to remember that the shapes of molecules could be predicted on the basis of the Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
The number of electrons on the valence shell of the central atom determines the shape of the molecule. We have also been told that X is not hydrogen.
If the two X atoms are arranged at a bond angle of 180 degrees, we could have either structure I or II. We will have these structures if the Z atom is sp2 hybridized.
Similarly, if the Z atom is sp3 hybridized, we may have structure III in which the molecule is bent with a bond angle less than 109 degrees. This may result from the presence of a lone pair on Z.
Note that all these structures obey the octet rule.

Answer : The volume of produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L
Explanation :
Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.
The combined gas equation is,
where,
= initial pressure of
gas = (740-22.4) torr = 717.6 torr
= final pressure of
gas at STP= 760 torr
= initial volume of
gas = 280 mL
= final volume of
gas at STP = ?
= initial temperature of
gas =
= final temperature of
gas =
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, the volume of produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L
