Question

How many moles of oxygen are present in 33.6l of the gas at 1atm and 0c

Answer 1

The answer is: 1.5 moles of oxygen are present.

V(O₂) = 33.6 L; volume of oxygen.

p(O₂) = 1.0 atm; pressure of oxygen.

T = 0°C; temperature.

Vm = 22.4 L/mol; molar volume at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).

At STP one mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters of volume.

n(O₂) = V(O₂) ÷ Vm.

n(O₂) = 33.6 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol.

n(O₂) = 1.50 mol; amount of oxygen.
