CALCULATE THE VOLUME OF 16 g OF OXYGEN GAS AT S.T.P?

To calculate the volume we must first find the number of moles

Number of moles (n ) = mass / Molar mass (M)

Since oxygen is diatomic

M of oxygen = 16 × 2 = 32g/mol

n = 16 / 32 = 0.5mol

Next we use the formula

V = n × V(dm³)

where V is the volume

V(dm³) is the volume of 1 mole of a substance at s.t.p which is

22.4dm³

Volume of oxygen gas at s.t.p is

0.5 × 22.4dm³

= 11.20dm³

Hope this helps you
