Question

Magnesium reacts with the oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. If 35 g of O2 was used in the reaction. How many Liters of O2 were present at 301K and a pressure of 1.35 atm?

Answer 1

20.02 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass = 35g

Volume = ?

Temperature = 301K

Pressure = 1.35 atm

The relationship between the quantities is given as;

PV = nRT

n = mass / Molar mass = 35 / 32 = 1.09375 mol

V = nRT / P

V = (1.09375 * 0.0821 * 301) / 1.35

V = 20.02 L
