1 answer:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
<u>The following reasons tell why atom combine to form compounds:</u>
1) They want to follow octet or duplet rule and attain the noble gas configuration.
2) They combine to form compounds because of the electrostatic attraction between them.
3) They form compounds to lower their energy and to become stable.

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
<u><em>Therefore volume occupied by methane gas is 184.78 × 10^-3 liters </em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
mass of methane() = 272 grams
pressure (P) = 250 k Pa =250×10^3 Pa
temperature(t) = 54°C =54 + 273 = 327 K
Also given:
R = 8.31JK-1 mol-1 ,
Molar mass of methane() = 16.0 grams
We know;
According to the ideal gas equation,
<u><em>P × V = n × R × T</em></u>
here,
n = m÷M
n =272 ÷ 16
<u><em>n = 17 moles</em></u>
Therefore,
250×10^3 × V = 17 × 8.31 × 327
V = ( 17 × 8.31 × 327 ) ÷ ( 250×10^3 )
V = 184.78 × 10^-3 liters
<u><em>Therefore volume occupied by methane gas is 184.78 × 10^-3 liters </em></u>
