  • Calculating the Volume of Oxygen: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the volume of oxygen:

    1. Ideal Gas Law

    The ideal gas law is the foundation for this calculation:

    PV = nRT

    Where:

    * P = Pressure (in atmospheres)

    * V = Volume (in liters)

    * n = Number of moles

    * R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)

    * T = Temperature (in Kelvin)

    2. Plug in the Values

    * P = 1.3 atm

    * n = 2 moles

    * R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

    * T = 300 K

    3. Solve for Volume (V)

    V = (nRT) / P

    V = (2 moles * 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 300 K) / 1.3 atm

    V ≈ 38.0 L

    Therefore, the volume of oxygen occupied by 2 moles at 1.3 ATM pressure and 300K is approximately 38.0 liters.
