QUESTION:

An empty cylindrical canister 1.50 m long and 90.0 cm in diameter is to be filled with pure oxygen at \(22.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to store in a space station. To hold as much gas as possible, the absolute pressure of the oxygen will be 21.0 atm. The molar mass of oxygen is 32.0 g/mol. (a) How many moles of oxygen does this canister hold? (b) For someone lifting this canister, by how many kilograms does this gas increase the mass to be lifted?

QUESTION:

An empty cylindrical canister 1.50 m long and 90.0 cm in diameter is to be filled with pure oxygen at \(22.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to store in a space station. To hold as much gas as possible, the absolute pressure of the oxygen will be 21.0 atm. The molar mass of oxygen is 32.0 g/mol. (a) How many moles of oxygen does this canister hold? (b) For someone lifting this canister, by how many kilograms does this gas increase the mass to be lifted?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

According to the ideal gas equation, pv = nRT

Where, p - Pressure of the gas

           v - Volume of the gas

           n - Number of moles of gas

           R - Universal gas constant

           T - Temperature of the gas
