  • Calculating the Weight of Oxygen Gas: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the weight of 0.8834 moles of oxygen gas:

    1. Understand the Concept:

    * Molar mass: The mass of one mole of a substance.

    * Oxygen gas (O₂): Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule (two oxygen atoms bonded together).

    2. Find the Molar Mass of Oxygen Gas:

    * The molar mass of oxygen (O) is approximately 16 g/mol.

    * The molar mass of oxygen gas (O₂) is 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol.

    3. Calculate the Weight:

    * Weight = Moles * Molar Mass

    * Weight = 0.8834 mol * 32 g/mol

    * Weight ≈ 28.27 g

    Therefore, the weight of 0.8834 moles of oxygen gas is approximately 28.27 grams.
