At STP means Pressure= 1 atm and Temp= 273K

Density= mass/volume=grams/L
M= molar mass
P= pressure
R= gas constant
T= temp

Density= PM/RT

Density= (1.30 atm x 32 grams/mol)/(0.0821 x 273K)= 1.86 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that pressure is 1.30 atm.

So, at STP temperature will be 273.15 K. And, according to the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT ........ (1)

And, Density =
(mass)/(volume)

or, Volume =
(mass)/(Density) ....... (2)

Putting equation (2) is equation (1) we get the following.

PV = nRT


P * (mass)/(Density) = nRT

Molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol. Now, putting the given values into the above equation to calculate density as follows.


P * (mass)/(Density) = nRT


1.30 * (32 g/mol)/(Density) = 1 * 0.0821 L atm/mol K * 273.15 K

Density =
(41.6)/(22.42) g/L

= 1.855 g/L

Thus, we can conclude that density of oxygen at 1.30 atm is 1.855 g/L.
