3.12g of oxygen is adsorbed on 1.2g of platinum metal. The volume of oxygen adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent at 1atm and 300K in L is _____.
[R=0.0821LatmK−1mol−1]
Open in App
Solution
P=1atmT=300KMass of oxygen adsorbed on 1 g of platinum=3.121.2=2.6 No. of moles of oxygen adsorbed on 1 g of platinum=2.632=0.0812
Using ideal gas equation, PV=nRT V=0.0812×0.0821×3001=1.99L≈2L
