A cylinder containing carbon dioxide of volume 20 L at 2.0 atm was connected to another cylinder of certain volume at constant temperature. The final pressure of the gas in the cylinders was found to be 380mm Hg. Calculate the volume of the second cylinder .

The volume of the second cylinder is 80 liters

Explanation:

We use the Boyle-Mariotte formula, according to which the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related, keeping the temperature constant: P1 x V1 = P2xV2. We convert the pressure in mmHg to atm:

760 mmHg1 atm

380mmHgx= (380mmHgx1atm)/760mmHg=0,5 atm

P1xV1=P2xV2

2 atmx20 L= 0,5atm x V2 V2=(2 atmx20 L)/0,5atm=80L

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
