Solution

The correct option is D 16 grams of gas
Conditions followed by an ideal gas at STP(atm)

STP(atm) stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure. At STP(atm), a system is said to have a temperature of 0C and the pressure equal to one atmosphere.

Analyzing the options

Option (A):

No. of moles of O2 gas:

=Mass of O2 gas (g)Molar mass of O2 (g mol1)

Given;

No. of moles of O2 gas at STP must be =1 mol
Molar mass of O2=32 g mol1
Given mass of O2=16 g
No.of mol=Mass of O2 gas32 g mol1

No. of mol of O2 gas =0.5

So, option (A) is incorrect.

Option (B):

For an ideal gas (O2);
PV=nRT

At STP(atm);

P=1 atm
T=0C=273 K
n=1 mol (given in the question)
R=0.0821 atm L mol1K1

Putting the values in ideal gas equation to find the volume of 1 mol of O2 gas;

1(atm)×V=1(mol)×0.0821(atm L mol1K1)×273(K)

V=22.42 L22.4 L

So, option (B) is correct.

Option (C):

One mole of any substance: =6.023×1023 entities

Hence, it can be said that;

One mole of O2 gas: =6.023×1023 O2 (dioxygen) molecules

So, option (C) is correct.

Option (D):

In option (B), volume of 1 mol of O2 gas is calculated as 22.42 L.

So, option (D) is incorrect.

Hence, option (A) and (D) are the correct answers.
