What is the mass of a sample of O2 gas, which has a pressure of 740 mmhg at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius in a volume of 250 mL

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.32 g O2

Explanation:

740 mmHg= 0.97 atm

25°C=298 K

250 mL=0.25 L

PV=nRT

n= PV/RT

n= (0.97 atm*0.25L)/(0.0821 * 298K)

n=9.91 x 10^-3 mol O2

1 mol O2                    -> 32 g

9.91 x 10^-3 mol O2  -> x              x= 0.32 g O2

 

The mass of the sample of oxygen gas with a pressure of 740 mm Hg has been 0.318 grams.

The sample has been assumed to be an ideal gas. According to the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 740 mm Hg = 0.973 atm

V = volume = 250 ml = 0.25 L

n = moles of gas

R = constant = 0.0821

T = temperature = 25[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] = 298 K

Substituting the values:

0.973 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.25 = n [tex]\times[/tex] 0.0821 [tex]\times[/tex] 298

0.24 = 24.465 n

n =0.0099 mol

The moles of the oxygen sample have been 0.0099 mol.

The molecular weight of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Moles = [tex]\rm \dfrac{weight}{molecular\;weight}[/tex]

0.0099 = [tex]\rm \dfrac{weight}{32}[/tex]

Weight of oxygen gas = 0.0099 [tex]\times[/tex] 32 grams

Weight of oxygen gas = 0.318 grams.

The mass of the sample of oxygen gas with a pressure of 740 mm Hg has been 0.318 grams.
