Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 2]PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
Determine the mass of 1 cm ^3 of oxygen maintained at STP.
Options
- A1.43 g
- B1.43 mg
- C1.25 mg
- D0.71 mg
Correct answer
B. 1.43 mg
Step-by-step solution
Volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP is 22.4 L = 22400 cm ^3 . Molar mass of oxygen gas ( O₂ ) is 32 g . Mass of 22400 cm ^3 of oxygen at STP is 32 g . Mass of 1 cm ^3 of oxygen at STP is 32 22400 g . 32 22400 g = 1 700 g 1.43 10⁻³ g = 1.43 mg .
