Answer:The mass of oxygen gas sample collected over water is 0.544 g.
The given parameters;
temperature of the oxygen gas, t = 25 °C
total pressure of the gas, P = 644 torr
volume of the gas, V = 500 mL
vapor pressure = 23.8 torr
molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol
The number of moles of the gas collected is calculated by using ideal gas equation as follows;
PV = nRT
where;
R is the ideal gas constant = 62.36 L.torr/mol.K
P is the pressure of the gas = 644 torr - 23.8 torr = 620.2 torr
T is the temperature of the gas = 25 + 273 = 298 K
V is the volume of the gas = 500 mL = 0.5 L
The number of moles of the gas is calculated as follows;
The mass of oxygen gas collected is calculated as follows;
m = 0.017 (32 g/mol)
m = 0.544 g
Thus, the mass of oxygen gas sample collected over water is 0.544 g.
