A 15 L tank is filled with oxygen gas for use in a hospital. How many grams of O2, is inside the tank if the pressure is 75 psi at 28°C?​

Answer:

Mass = 99.2 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of oxygen = 15 L

Mass of oxygen = ?

Pressure of oxygen = 75 psi ( 75/14.696 = 5.10 atm)

Temperature of oxygen = 28°C (28+273 = 301 K)

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

n = PV/RT

n = 5.10 atm× 15 L / 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 301 K

n = 76.5 atm.L/24.71 atm.L/ mol

n = 3.1 mol

mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3.1 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 99.2 g
