Answer:

Presence of lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory, the presence of lone pairs caused increased repulsion of electron pairs on the valence shell of the centeral atom of the molecule. This decreases or distorts the bond angle. The decrease in bond ange depends on the number of lone pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule. Ammonia has only one lone pair hence the bond angle is 107°, water has two lone pairs and the bond angle is 104°. Compare this this with the bond angle of 109° in methane which has only bond pairs and no lone pairs.

A balloon with a volume of 2.0 L is filled with a gas at 3 atmospheres. If the pressure is reduced to 0.5 atmospheres without a
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

V2 = 12 L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial volume = 2L

Initial pressure = 3 atm

Final pressure = 0.5 atm

To find the new volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

3 * 2 = 0.5V_{2}

6 = 0.5V_{2}

V_{2} = \frac {6}{0.5}

V_{2} = 12

<em>V2 = 12L</em>

<em>Therefore, the new volume is 12 Liters. </em>
