Vladimir79 [104]

<u>Answer:</u> The lewis dot structure is attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A Lewis dot structure is defined as the representation of atoms having electrons around the atom where electrons are represented as dots.

A ketene is an organic compound having general formula R′R″C=C=O, where R and R' are two different/same monovalent chemical groups.

The given chemical compound having formula C_2H_2O is represented as H_2-C=C=O.

Total number of unshared electrons = 4 (left on oxygen atom only)

The lewis dot structure of C_2H_2O is given in the image below.

Consider 10.0 g of helium gas (He) in a rigid steel container. If you add 10.0 g of neon gas (Ne) to this container, which of th
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: (e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to first remember our gas law, Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. That is, If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, increasing the volume in this case does not double the pressure owning to out gas law, but an increase in pressure would be noticed if temperature is constant
