This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.
Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:
where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.
Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars
Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:
If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.
0.24 moles of oxygen must be placed in a 3.00 L container to exert a pressure of 2.00 atm at 25.0°C.
The variables given are Pressure, volume and temperature.
Explanation:
Given:
P = 2 atm
V = 3 litres
T = 25 degrees or 298.15 K by using the formula 25 + 273.17 = K
R = 0.082057 L atm/ mole K
n (number of moles) = ?
The equation used is of Ideal Gas law:
PV = nRT
n =
Putting the values given for oxygen gas in the Ideal gas equation, we get
n =
= 0.24
Thus, from the calculation using Ideal Gas law it is found that 0.24 moles of oxygen must be placed in a container.
Ideal gas law equation is used as it tells the relation between temperature, pressure and volume of the gas.
