Damien Bishop · Answer 1

P = 2.30 atm

Volume in liter = 2.70 mL / 1000 = > 0.0027 L

Temperature in K = 30.0 + 273 = > 303 K

R = 0.082 atm

molar mass O2 = 31.9988 g/mol

number of moles O2:

P * V = n * R * T

2.30 * 0.0027 = n * 0.082 * 303

0.00621 = n * 24.846

n = 0.00621 / 24.846

n = 0.0002499 moles of O2

Mass of O2:

n = m / mm

0.0002499 = m / 31.9988

m = 0.0002499 * 31.9988

m = 0.008 g
