Question

How many moles of oxygen molecules are present in 112ml of co2 at NTP?​

Answer 1

In each mole of carbon dioxide there will be one mole of O₂.

Let us calculate the moles of carbon dioxide gas present first

The conditions are NTP it means , Temperature = 293 K and P = 1 atm

We will use ideal gas equation

PV= nRT

Where

P = Pressure of gas = 1 atm

V= 112mL=0.112L

R= gas constant =0.0821 L atm /mol K

n = moles = ?

Putting values

$moles=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1X0.112}{0.0821X293}$

moles = 0.00466

Thus moles of carbon dioxide will be 0.00466

The moles of O₂ = 0.00466
