Answer:
0.558 atm
Explanation:
We must first consider that both gases behaves like ideal gases, so we can use the following formula: PV=nRT
Then, we should consider that, whithin a mixture of gases, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of each gas:
P₀ = P₁ + P₂ + ....
P₀= total pressure
P₁=P₂= is the partial pressure of each gass
If we can consider that each gas is an ideal gas, then:
P₀= (nRT/V)₁ + (nRT/V)₂ +..
Considering the molecular mass of O₂:
M O₂= 32 g/mol
And also:
R= ideal gas constant= 0.082 Lt*atm/K*mol
T= 65°C=338 K
4.98 g O₂ = 0.156 moles O₂
V= 7.75 Lt
Then:
P°O₂=partial pressure of oxygen gas= (0.156x0.082x338)/7.75
P°O₂= 0.558 atm
