**Educational Website Content - Physics Problem** --- ### Ideal Gas Law Calculation **Problem Statement:** A sealed 11 m³ tank is filled with 5000 moles of ideal oxygen gas (diatomic) at an initial temperature of 270 K. The gas is heated to a final temperature of 380 K. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16.0 g/mol. The mass density of the oxygen gas, in SI units, is closest to: - O 18 - O 7.3 - O 29 - O 11 - O 15 --- **Explanation:** To find the mass density of the oxygen gas, we must first determine the molar mass of diatomic oxygen gas (O₂). Since each oxygen atom has an atomic mass of 16.0 g/mol, diatomic oxygen O₂ has a molar mass of: \[ \text{Molar Mass of O}_2 = 16.0 \, \text{g/mol} \times 2 = 32.0 \, \text{g/mol} \] Next, we convert this to kilograms per mole: \[ \text{Molar Mass of O}_2 = 32.0 \, \text{g/mol} = 0.032 \, \text{kg/mol} \] We can then calculate the mass of the oxygen gas using the number of moles provided: \[ \text{Mass of O}_2 = \text{number of moles} \times \text{molar mass} \] \[ \text{Mass of O}_2 = 5000 \, \text{moles} \times 0.032 \, \text{kg/mol} = 160 \, \text{kg} \] The mass density (ρ) is given by mass per unit volume: \[ \rho = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \] \[ \rho = \frac{160 \, \text{kg}}{11 \, \text{m}^3} \approx 14.5 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] Upon rounding, the closest value is: - O 15 Therefore, **15 kg/m³** is the nearest approximation for the mass density of the oxygen gas. --- **Graphical Representation:** There are no graphs or diagrams provided with this problem
