Question

determine the ideal gas constant from the following experimental data:

7.7g of O2 gas

31 celsius 

112mmHg

40800 mL

Expert Solution
Step 1

GIVEN:

Mass of O2 gas=7.7g

Temperature(T)=31OC=304.15K

Volume=40800 ml=40.800 L

Pressure(P)=112 mmHg = 0.147368 atm

To Solve:

Ideal gas constant =?

 

Step 2

Solution:

The Molar mass of O2=32g/mol
