Wt. of 112 ml of oxygen at STP on liquefaction would be

Correct answer: C. 0.16g

  • A. 0.32g
  • B. 0.64g
  • C. 0.16g
  • D. 0.96

Explanation

Here's how to find the weight of liquefied oxygen:Convert volume to moles:○ We need to convert the volume of oxygen from milliliters (mL) to liters (L).○ 1 mL = 10^-3 L, so 112 mL = 112 x 10^-3 L = 0.112 L.Apply the ideal gas law (assuming ideal behavior for oxygen at STP):○ At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure, 0°C and 1 atm), 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.○ Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen is:■ Moles of oxygen = Volume / Standard molar volume = 0.112 L / 22.4 L/mol ≈ 0.005 moles.Calculate the mass of oxygen using its molar mass:○ Molar mass of oxygen (O2) = 32 g/mol (from periodic table).○ Mass of oxygen = Moles of oxygen * Molar mass = 0.005 moles * 32 g/mol = 0.16 g.Therefore, the weight of 112 ml of oxygen at STP on liquefaction would be 0.16 g

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
