Question on how to find the mass of oxygen at r.t.p
« on: April 19, 2010, 08:41:17 PM »
I am given a question that says, "What is the mass of 48 dm^3 of oxygen at r.t.p?"
Can someone explain to me how to arrived at the answer? I am a bit confused.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use the ideal gas equation to find the amount of oxygen, and then convert to mass.

Hey, thanks a lot!

And r.t.p stands for room temperature and pressure.

Usually either 20 or 25 deg C. It is about as exact as STP is.

24 dm3 is not a temperature, just like 17 K is not a distance.
