At a pressure P and temperature T, 7 gram of oxygen occupies a volume V. The equation of state will be (Molecular weight of Oxygen $= 32$)

  • A
    $PV = \left(\dfrac{2}{7}\right)RT$
  • B
    $PV = \left(\dfrac{7}{2}\right)RT$
  • C
    $PV = \left(\dfrac{7}{16}\right)RT$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $PV = \left(\dfrac{7}{32}\right)RT$

Solution

The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = nRT$.

The number of moles $n$ is calculated as $n = \dfrac{m}{M}$.

Given mass of oxygen $m = 7$ g and molecular weight $M = 32$ g/mol.

Therefore, $n = \dfrac{7}{32}$.

Substituting the value of $n$ into the ideal gas equation, we get $PV = \left(\dfrac{7}{32}\right)RT$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
