The mass of oxygen gas occupying a volume of 11.2 litres at a temperature $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a pressure of $760 \mathrm{~nm}$ of mercury in kilograms is $[$ Molecular weight of oxygen $=32]$
  1. $0.001456$
  2. $0.01456$
  3. $0.1456$
  4. $1.1456$

Solution

At STP $(273 \mathrm{~K}$ and at $760 \mathrm{~mm}$ of $\mathrm{Hg})$ the mass of oxygen $=32 \mathrm{~g}$ From $\frac{P_1 V_1}{m_1 T_1}=\frac{P_2 V_2}{m_1 T_2}$ $\begin{aligned} & P_1=760 \mathrm{~mm}, V_1=2241 \text { (at STP) } \\ & T_1=273 \mathrm{~K} \\ & P_2=760 \mathrm{~mm} \text { (given), } V_2=11.2 \text { it (given) } \\ & T_2=27+273=300 \mathrm{~K} \\ & \therefore \frac{760 \times 224}{32 \mathrm{~g} \times 273}=\frac{760 \times 11.2}{m_2 \times 300} \\ & m_2=\frac{32 \times 273}{300 \times 2}=14.56 \mathrm{~g} \\ & =0.01456 \mathrm{~kg} \\ & \end{aligned}$
