Calculate the number of moles of oxygen in a 16.3-l tank if the pressure is 331 kpa and the temperature is 197.4°c.

Answer;

= 1.38 moles

Explanation;

Using the equation;

PV = nRT , where P is the pressure,. V is the volume, n is the number of moles and T is the temperature and R is the gas constant, 0.08206 L. atm. mol−1.

P= 331 000Pa or 3.267 atm T= 197.4 +273 = 470.4, V = 16.3 L

Therefore;

n = PV/RT

  = (3.267 × 16.3)/(470.4 × 0.08206)

  = 1.3796 moles

   ≈ 1.38 moles

Each proton serves as a positive charge and each electron serves as a negative charge. The two charges neutralize each other on a 1:1 ratio. In your question, you have 12 protons to 13 electrons. That means there's a net -1 charge because there is one more electron than protons.
