A 8.3 L cylinder contains 128 .0 g O2 gas at 27°C. What mass of O...
By applying ideal gas eqn. PV = nRT
Further solving it we get an eq.
w = PVM/RT
Putting values, we get 64g.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
A 8.3 L cylinder contains 128 .0 g O2 gas at 27°C. What mass of O...
To find the pressure of the gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature
First, we need to convert the mass of O2 gas to moles. The molar mass of O2 is 32.0 g/mol, so we can calculate the number of moles using the formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
moles = 128.0 g / 32.0 g/mol = 4.0 mol
Next, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin. To do this, we add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature:
T = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K
Now, we can substitute the values into the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
P(8.3 L) = (4.0 mol)(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(300.15 K)
P(8.3 L) = 98.472 L·atm·K/mol
P = 98.472 L·atm·K/mol / 8.3 L
P = 11.87 atm
Therefore, the pressure of the O2 gas in the cylinder is 11.87 atm.
