Suppose you conducted a similar experiment using helium gas. Given that helium is much lighter than the gases used in this lab, what would you expect the relationship between the volume of helium and the pressure to be?

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Suppose you conducted a similar experiment using helium gas. Given that helium is much lighter than the gases used in this lab, you would expect the relationship between the volume of helium and the pressure to be

A. periodic, because helium is lighter.

B. inversely proportional, just like propane and butane.

C. exponential, because helium is lighter.

D. directly proportional, just like propane and butane.

Answer : The correct option is, (B) inversely proportional, just like propane and butane.

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

That means, there is a inverse relation between volume of pressure.

From the given options we conclude that the correct statement is, inversely proportional, just like propane and butane.

Hence, the relationship between the volume of helium and the pressure to be inversely proportional, just like propane and butane.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
