Study Notes
Ideal gas Law
- The ideal gas law is defined as PV = nRT
- P represents pressure, V represents volume, n represents the number of moles of a substance, R represents the ideal gas constant, and T represents temperature
- In this case, we are solving for the number of moles so the ideal gas law can be arranged to n = PV/RT
- We are given a volume of 1.0 L, a pressure of 1.0 atm, and a temperature of 20 C
- The temperature must be in Kelvin so we add 273.15 to 20 degrees C to get 293.15 K
- The ideal gas constant R is 0.082 L atm mol−1 K−1
- The number of moles of air calculated is 0.042 moles
Oxygen
- The mole fraction of oxygen is 0.22, which means 22% of the air is Oxygen
- To find the number of moles of oxygen, we multiply the mole fraction of oxygen by the total number of moles of air
- The number of moles of oxygen is 0.00924 moles
Mass of Oxygen
- The molecular mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol
- We multiply the number of moles of oxygen 0.00924 mol by the molecular mass of oxygen, 32 g/mol, to get the mass of oxygen in 1 L of air
- The mass of oxygen is 0.296 g
