Question

How many moles are in 43.9 L of oxygen

Answer 1

Answer: 2 mol

Explanation:

- According to the ideal gas law, One mole of an ideal gas at STP (standard temperature and normal pressure) occupies 22.4 liters.

- Using cross multiplication,

                               1 mol of (O2)        →       22.4 L

                                       ?                   →        43.9 L

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen in 43.9 L = (43.9 × 1)/ 22.4 = 1.96 mol≈ 2 mol..
