A certain gas is present in a 10.0 L cylinder at 4.0 atm pressure. If the pressure is increased to 8.0 atm the volume of the gas decreases to 5.0 L . Find the two constants ki, the initial value of k, and kf, the final value of k, to verify whether the gas obeys Boyle’s law by entering the numerical values for ki and kf in the space provided.

answer is: empirical formula is tl₂o. if we use 100 grams of compound, tha:

m(tl) = 96.2%  · 100 g ÷ 100%.

m(tl) = 96.2 g.

n(tl) = m(tl)  ÷ m(tl). n(tl) = 96.2 g  ÷ 204.4 g/mol.

n(tl) = 0.47 mol. m(o) = 3.77 g. n(o) = m(o)  ÷ m(o). n(o) = 3.77 g  ÷ 16 g/mol. n(ag) = 0.235 mol. n(tl) . n(o) = 0.47 mol : 0.235 mol /0.235. n(tl) . n(o) = 2 : 1.

m(tl₂o) = 204.4 g/mol  · 2 + 16 g/mol = 424.8 g/mol.

m(compound) = 456. 8 g/mol - 424.8 g/mol = 32 g/mol ( 2 oxygens); tl₂o₃.
