The volume of oxygen gas at STP is 12.60 L

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of oxygen = 18.0 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

STp = 1atm and 273 K

Step 2: Calculate moles of oxygen

Moles O2 = mass O2 / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 18.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.5625 moles

Step 3: Calculate volume of the gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure at STP = 1.00 atm

⇒with V = the volume of the oxygen gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with n = the number of moles of oxygen gas = 0.5625 moles

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*Atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature at STP = 273 K

V = (n*R*T)/p

V = (0.5625*0.08206 * 273) / 1 atm

V = 12.60 L

The volume of oxygen gas at STP is 12.60 L

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
