KO2
Step 1
To find the mass of 1 mole of KO2 look up the atomic mass of each element and multiply it by the number of atoms contained in each element in the molecule.
mass of 1 mole of KO2=(mass of K)+2(mass of O)
Step 2
Fill in the atomic masses from the periodic table.
mass of 1 mole of KO2=(39.09999847)+2(16)
Step 3
Step 3.1
Multiply 2 by 16.
mass of 1 mole of KO2=39.09999847+32g
Step 3.2
Add 39.09999847 and 32.
mass of 1 mole of KO2=71.09999847g
mass of 1 mole of KO2=71.09999847g
Step 4
One mole of any gas occupies 22.4L at STP (standard temperature and pressure).
V=22.4L
Step 5
Density is mass over volume.
71.09999847g22.4L
Step 6
Factor 71.09999847 out of 71.09999847g.
71.09999847(g)22.4L
Step 7
Factor 22.4 out of 22.4L.
71.09999847(g)22.4(L)
Step 8
Separate fractions.
71.0999984722.4⋅gL
Step 9
Divide 71.09999847 by 22.4.
3.17410707gL
Step 10
Combine 3.17410707 and gL.
3.17410707gL
