To calculate the number of moles of Oxygen confined in a 1m^3 container at 0°C and 1 atmospheric pressure, we can use the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
where:
P = pressure (1 atm = 1.01 × 10^5 Pa)
V = volume (1m^3)
n = number of moles
R = ideal gas constant (8.3 J/mol*K)
T = temperature (0°C = 273 K)
First, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
0°C + 273 = 273K
Now, we can plug in the values into the ideal gas law equation:
(1.01 × 10^5) * (1) = n * (8.3) * (273)
1.01 × 10^5 = 2259.9n
Divide both sides by 2259.9 to solve for n:
n = (1.01 × 10^5) / 2259.9
n ≈ 44.8 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 44.8 moles of Oxygen confined in a 1m^3 container at 0°C and 1 atmospheric pressure.
