Question

What is the pressure, in atm, exerted by 41.6 g oxygen in a 22.0L container at 30.0C ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.47 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the moles corresponding to 41.6 g of oxygen

The molar mass of oxygen is 32.00 g/mol.

41.6 g × 1 mol/32.00 g = 1.30 mol

Step 2: Convert 30.0 °C to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 30.0 + 273.15 = 303.2 K

Step 3: Calculate the pressure exerted by the oxygen

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

P = n × R × T / V

P = 1.30 mol × (0.0821 atm.L/mol.L) × 303.2 K / 22.0 L = 1.47 atm
