  • Calculating the Mass of Oxygen: A Step-by-Step Guide
    To calculate the mass of 4.0 liters of oxygen, we can use the ideal gas law:

    PV = nRT

    where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

    At room temperature (25°C or 298 K) and pressure (1 atm or 101.325 kPa), the density of oxygen is approximately 1.429 g/L. Therefore, the mass of 4.0 liters of oxygen can be calculated as:

    mass = density × volume

    mass = 1.429 g/L × 4.0 L

    mass = 5.716 g

    Therefore, the mass of 4.0 liters of oxygen at room temperature and pressure is approximately 5.716 g.
