1. Calculate the density of oxygen at STP using the ideal gas law.
1. Calculate the density of oxygen at STP using the ideal gas law.
Hint
`ρ = m/V`
Answer
`ρ = 1.43\ kg//m^3`
Show Steps
Given: STP `V = 22.4 L = 22.4 times 10^(-3)\ m^3` `n = 1\ mol` atomic mass `am_(O_2) = 32.0 times 10^(-3) kg//mol` equation: `ρ = m/V` Solution: `m = 1\ mol times 32.0 times 10^(-3) kg//mol = 32.0 times 10^(-3) kg` `ρ = m/V` `ρ = (32.0 times 10^(-3)\ kg)/(22.4 times 10^(-3)\ m^3)`
`ρ = 1.43\ kg//m^3`
