Study Notes
Calculating the Mass of Oxygen in Air
- The tutorial aims to calculate the mass of oxygen in 1 liter of air at 20°C and 1 atm pressure, assuming ideal behavior.
- The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, is used to find the number of moles of air (n).
- The temperature is converted from Celsius to Kelvin: 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15 K.
- The given values for pressure (P = 1.0 atm), volume (V = 1.0 L), temperature (T = 293.15 K), and the ideal gas constant (R = 0.082 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) are plugged into the formula to calculate the number of moles (n).
- The number of moles of air is calculated to be approximately 0.042 mol.
- The mole fraction of oxygen (O2) in air is given as 0.22, so the number of moles of oxygen in 1 liter of air is 0.22 x 0.042 mol = 0.00924 mol.
- The molecular mass of oxygen is 32 g mol⁻¹, so the mass of oxygen in 1 liter of air is 32 g mol⁻¹ x 0.00924 mol = 0.296 g.
