Question

HELPPP!!! what is the volume (in liters) of a 5.72 gram sample of 02 at STP? (Hint: remember to change grams of oxygen to moles of oxygen first) molar mass of 02 =32g/mol

Answer 1

Answer:

4L

Explanation:

To obtain the volume of O2 at stp, first, we need to determine the number of mole of O2.

From the question given above,

Mass of O2 = 5.72g

Molar Mass of O2 = 32g/mol

Number of mole =Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of O2 = 5.72/32

Number of mole of O2 = 0.179 mole

Now, we can calculate the volume of O2 at stp as follow:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp.

Therefore, 0.179 mole of O2 will occupy = 0.179 x 22.4 = 4L

Therefore, the volume occupied by the sample of O2 is 4L
