If a sample of gas at constant volume has its pressure reduced by 1/2, what happens to its temperature

If a molecule with a molecular formula of c13h18 is treated with an excess of h2 in the presence of finally divided pt metal under conditions required for maximum hydrogenation of the molecule to give a molecule with a formula c13h24, how many rings are in the molecule?

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
