Asample of neon gas at 1.20 atm compresses from 0.250 l to 0.125 l. if the temperature remains constant, what is the final pressure

2.4 atm

At constant temperature;

PV = constant  

P1 = 1.2 atm

V1 = 0.25 L

P2 = ?

V2 = 0.125 L

But;

P1*V1 = P2*V2

Thus;

P2 = P1*V1/V2

     = (1.2 atm)(0.25 L)/(0.125 L)

    = 2.4 atm

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!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
