Homework Statement


A mass of 0.582 kg of molecular oxygen is contained in a cylinder at a pressure of 1.0 × 10^5 Pa and a temperature of 1°C. What volume does the gas occupy?


Homework Equations



PV = nRT

The Attempt at a Solution



15.9994 * 2 = 31.9988 amu
532g / 31.9988 amu = 16.62604 mol

K=1 + 273 = 274

(16.62604 x 8.3145 x 274)/100,000
= .3788m^3

This is wrong according to my book...Any ideas why?
