The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the relationship between density and temperature at constant pressure. The formula we will use is: \[ \frac{d_1}{T_1} = \frac{d_2}{T_2} \] Where: - \(d_1\) is the initial density - \(T_1\) is the initial temperature in Kelvin - \(d_2\) is the final density - \(T_2\) is the final temperature in Kelvin ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Initial density, \(d_1 = 16 \, \text{g/L}\) - Final density, \(d_2 = 14 \, \text{g/L}\) - Initial temperature at STP, \(T_1 = 0^\circ C = 273 \, \text{K}\) ### Step 2: Set up the equation Using the formula: \[ \frac{d_1}{T_1} = \frac{d_2}{T_2} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{16}{273} = \frac{14}{T_2} \] ### Step 3: Cross-multiply to solve for \(T_2\) Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 16 \cdot T_2 = 14 \cdot 273 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \(T_2\) Now, we can solve for \(T_2\): \[ T_2 = \frac{14 \cdot 273}{16} \] Calculating the right side: \[ T_2 = \frac{3822}{16} = 238.875 \, \text{K} \] ### Step 5: Convert \(T_2\) to Celsius To convert the temperature from Kelvin to Celsius: \[ T_2^\circ C = T_2 - 273 = 238.875 - 273 = -34.125^\circ C \] ### Final Answer Thus, the temperature at which the density of oxygen will be 14 g/L is approximately: \[ \boxed{-34.13^\circ C} \]
