Answer:

Data obtained can't be accurate.

Explanation:

A beaker can't be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because they did not calculate volume of a liquid accurately and precisely. The marks present on the beaker are not accurate, it is just an estimate so by measuring the volume of any liquid using beaker give us a false data so that's why beaker are not used for the measurement of a volume.

What is the mass of 61.9 L of oxygen gas collected at STP?

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

D. 44.2 g O₂

General Formulas and Concepts:
Gas Laws

STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

Stoichiometry

Dimensional Analysis
Mole Ratio

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

61.9 L O₂ at STP

Step 2: Convert

We know that the oxygen gas is at STP. Therefore, we can set up and solve for how many moles of O₂ is present:

$\displaystyle 61.9 \ \text{L} \ \text{O}_2 \bigg( \frac{1 \ \text{mol} \ \text{O}_2}{22.4 \ \text{L} \ \text{O}_2} \bigg) = 2.76339 \ \text{mol} \ \text{O}_2$

Recall the Periodic Table (Refer to attachments). Oxygen's atomic mass is roughly 16.00 grams per mole (g/mol). We can use a mole ratio to convert from moles to grams:

$\displaystyle 2.76339 \ \text{mol} \ \text{O}_2 \bigg( \frac{16.00 \ \text{g} \ \text{O}_2}{1 \ \text{mol} \ \text{O}_2} \bigg) = 44.2143 \ \text{g} \ \text{O}_2$
