Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.5 \ moles}}

Step-by-step explanation:

At standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mole of any gas has a volume of 22.4 liters. This applies to oxygen, so let's create a proportion.


\frac {1 \ mol}{22.4 \ L}

Since we are trying to find the moles in 11.2 liters, we should multiply by that number.


11.2 \ L *\frac {1 \ mol}{22.4 \ L}\\

The units of liters cancel.


11.2 *\frac {1 \ mol}{22.4 }

Condense into 1 fraction.


\frac {11.2 }{22.4 } \ mol


0.5 \ mol

At STP, 11.2 liters of oxygen gas is equal to 0.5 moles of oxygen gas.
