Answer:
Option A. 9.4 L
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 8 L
Initial temperature (T₁) = 293 K
Final temperature (T₂) = 343 K
Final volume (V₂) =?
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
8 / 293 = V₂ / 343
Cross multiply
293 × V₂ = 8 × 343
293 × V₂ = 2744
Divide both side by 293
V₂ = 2744 / 293
V₂ = 9.4 L
Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 9.4 L
Every element in the compound has its own formal charge. The formula is:
Formal charge = Valence electrons - Nonbonding electrons - Bonding electrons/2
Let the Lewis structure of the compound aid you.
1. For CO:
Formal charge of C = 4 - 2 - 6/2 = -1
Formal charge of O = 6 - 2 - 6/2 = +1
2. For CO₂:
Formal charge of C = 4 - 0 - 8/2 = 0
Formal charge of each O = 6 - 4 - 4/2 = 0
3. For CO₃²⁻:
Formal charge of C: 4 - 0 - 8/2 = 0
Formal charge of two O's single-bonded to C = 6 - 6 - 2/2 = -1
Formal charge of the O double-bonded to C = 6 - 4 - 4/2 = 0
