Question

You have 67.2 liters of oxygen at standard temperature and pressure. How many moles of oxygen molecules do you have? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of moles is 3.0moles

Explanation:

Volume (v) = 67.2L

Pressure at STP = 1atm

Temperature at STP = 273.15K

R = 0.082J/mol.K

Number of moles (n) = ?

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume of the gas

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

PV = nRT

solving for n,

n = PV / RT

n = (1.0 * 67.2) / (0.082 * 273.15)

n = 67.2 / 22.398

n = 3.0 moles

The number of moles present is 3.0
