Homework Statement
Calculate the density of Oxygen at STP using the ideal gas law
Homework Equations
PV=nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
n = (X grams Oxygen / 16g/mol Oxygen)
I set V = to 1 m3
P = 1 atm
R = 8.315 J/Mol K
T = 273 K
PV = nRT
PV/RT = n
1/(8.315*273) = X grams Oxygen / 16g/mol Oxygen
[1/(8.315*273)]*16 = X grams Oxygen
X = .007g/m3
Book answer is 1.43 kg/m3. I'm way off somewhere.
Thanks for any help!
