Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Oxygen has six electrons in its outermost shell. This means that its octet can be completed when it shares two electrons with another oxygen atom.

In a covalent bond, each bonding atom contributes one electron to the bond. This means that four electrons are shared between two oxygen atoms. Each atom contributes a total of two electrons which are shared. This molecule of oxygen satisfies the octet rule rather than a single atom of oxygen.

An image of the oxygen molecule is attached to this answer.

This system of two oxygen atoms joined together in a covalent bond is called an oxygen molecule(O2).

A gas has a pressure of 5.7 atm at 100.0°C. What is its pressure at20.0°C (Assume volume is unchanged)
son4ous [18]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4.5 atm}}

Explanation:

The volume and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:

At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

\dfrac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ =5.7 atm; T₁ = 100.0 °C

p₂ = ?;          T₂ =  20.0 °C

Calculations:

1. Convert the temperatures to kelvins

T₁ = (100.0 + 273.15) K = 373.15

T₂ =  (20.0 + 273.15) K = 293.15

2. Calculate the new pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{5.7}{373.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{293.15}\\\\0.0153 & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{293.15}\\\\0.0153\times 293.15 &=&p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{4.5 atm}\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{4.5 atm}}$}
