Chemistry

In order to determine the rate of photosynthesis (the conversionby plants of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen), theoxygen gas emitted by an aquatic plant is collected over water at atemperature of 293 KK and a total pressure of 753.3 mmHg. Over aspecific time-period, a total of 1.84 LL of gas is collected. Thepartial pressure of water at 293 KK is 17.55 mmHg. What mass ofoxygen gas (in grams) forms?

Express your answer with the appropriateunits.

The total pressure consists of the partial pressure of H2OH2Oand the partial pressure of O2O2. Recall that if you calculate thenumber of moles of O2, you should use the partial pressureof O2O2 in the ideal gas law equation. Once you calculate thenumber of moles of O2O2 convert to mass using its molar mass.
