Step 1: Define

Identify variables

[Given] 6.7 L O₂

[Solve] g O₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O: 16.00 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂: 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

13.1637 g CO₂ ≈ 13 g CO₂

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
