Answer
Using the provided mass of 2230 g and the volume of
, and substituting these values into the given formula:
Tell us that the density is
. Therefore, the density of our oxygen gas to three significant figures is
.
Explanation
This task asks for the density of oxygen gas using the given mass and volume of the gas. The formula for density,
allows us to determine the density by substituting the given values. Please note that the mass is given in kilograms (kg) and should be converted to grams (g) for our answer to be in g/cm³. Since 1 kg is equivalent to 1000 g, we have 2.23 kg converts to 2230 g.
