A 30.0g sample of O2 at standard temperature and pressure (STP) would occupy what volume in liters

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

A 30.0g sample of O2 at standard temperature and pressure (STP) would occupy what volume in liters

PV =nRT

at STP  P= 1atm. T= 273 K

n is the number of moles.  O2 has a molar mass of 32.

30 gm of O2 is 30/32= 0.94 =n

PV = nRT

at STP: P= 1 atm, T=273 K, R is always 0.082 for P in atm and T in K

SO

1 X V = 0.94 X 0.082 X 273

using high school freshman algebra,

V= 0.94 X 0.082 X 273 = 21L

using high school algebra I,

V=
