Liquid oxygen is transported by automobiles in transport tanks with a capacity of -3.2 tons of oxygen

Liquid oxygen is transported by automobiles in transport tanks with a capacity of -3.2 tons of oxygen. Under normal conditions, what volume will the amount of gaseous oxygen take?

Let us determine the amount of substance in 3,200 kilograms of oxygen.

Its molar mass is:

M O2 = 16 x 2 = 32 grams / mol;

N O2 = 3 200 000/32 = 100 000 mol;

One mole of ideal gas under normal conditions takes a volume of 22.4 liters.

Find the volume of 100,000 moles of oxygen by multiplying the amount of matter by the volume of one mole.

V О2 = 100,000 x 22.4 = 2,240,000 liters = 2,240 m3;
