The structure of Methanol (CH₃OH) is shown below. This structure contains 2 lone pair of electrons on oxygen (highlighted red). Electronic configuration of oxygen is,
Oxygen = 8 = 1s², 2s², 2px², 2py¹, 2pz¹
There are six electrons in valence shell of oxygen, among these six electrons two electrons are unpaired and involved in forming covalent bond with hydrogen and carbon, while remaining 4 electrons in pair (i.e. 2s², 2px²) exists as lone pairs.

Answer:
A
Explanation:
To answer this, we need to use Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:
, where P is pressure and T is temperature
The initial pressure we're given is 4.5 atm (so P1 = 4.5) and the temperature is 45.0°C; however, we need to change Celsius to Kelvins, so add 273 to 45.0: 45.0 + 273 = 318 K (so T1 = 318).
The final pressure is what we want to find, but we do know the final temperature is 3.1°C. Converting this to Kelvins, we get: 3.1 + 273 = 276.1 K, which means T2 = 276.1.
Plug these values in:
Multiply both sides by 276.1:
≈ 3.9 atm
The answer is thus A.
