To find the number of moles of oxygen gas in a given container at standard temperature and pressure (STP), we need to use the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law equation is:
PV = nRT
Where:
P is the pressure (STP is 1 atmosphere)
V is the volume (given as 2.50 L)
n is the number of moles (what we need to find)
R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K))
T is the temperature (STP is 273.15 K)
Rearranging the equation to solve for n, we have:
n = PV / RT
Substituting the known values:
n = (1 atm)(2.50 L) / (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K))(273.15 K)
Now we can solve this equation to find the number of moles of oxygen gas.
