A vessel contains 1.6 g of dioxygen at STP (273.15K, 1 atm pressure). The gas is now transferred to another vessel at constant temperature, where pressure becomes half of the original pressure. The volume of the new vessel is:

Solution
The correct option is A 2.24 L 1.6 g of oxygen corresponds to 1.632=0.05 moles. It occupies a volume of 22.4×0.05=1.12L at STP. When the pressure is reduced to half, the volume is doubled. The new volume is 2×1.12=2.24L.
