Atomic mass of Oxygen is 15.9994 u. Note that, each element may contain more isotopes, therefore this resulting atomic mass is calculated from naturally-occuring isotopes and their abundance. The unit of measure for mass is the atomic mass unit (amu). One atomic mass unit is equal to 1.66 x 10 -24 grams. Also, although each atom in a molecule is a particular isotope, we use the weighted average, or atomic mass, for each atom in the molecule. For example, if we were to determine the molecular mass of dinitrogen trioxide, N 2 O 3, we would need to add the atomic mass of nitrogen two times with the atomic mass of oxygen three times.

Dry air is a mixture of gases where the average molecular weight (or molar mass) can be calculated by adding the weight of each component

The molecular weight (or molar mass) of a substance is the mass of one mole of the substance, and can be calculated by summarizing the molar masses of all the atoms in the molecule.

It's easy to overlook - the new version's icon is a tiny version of the stylized A on Apple's Applications folder. Clicking on the icon drops down a scrollable, alphabetized list of the contents of the Applications folder. XMenu is a real app, no hack, no extension.

Components in Dry Air

Air is a mixture of several gases, where the two most dominant components in dry air are 21 vol% oxygen and 78 vol%nitrogen. Oxygen has a molar mass of 15.9994 g/mol and nitrogen has a molar mass of 14.0067 g/mol. Since both of these elements are diatomic in air - O₂ and N₂, the molar mass of oxygen gas is aprox. 32 g/mol and the molar mass of nitrogen gas is aprox. 28 g/mol.

The average molar mass is equal to the sum of the mole fractions of each gas multiplied by the molar mass of that particular gas:

M_mixture = (x₁*M₁ + ...+ x_n*M_n) (1)

where

x_i = mole fractions of each gas
M_i = the molar mass of each gas

The molar mass of dry air with oxygen, nitrogen and the other components as indicated below is 28.9647g/mol. Composition and content of each gas in air is given in the figures and the table below.

Air Density

The density of dry air can be calculated with the Ideal Gas Law

ρ = P / (R T) (1)

where Splashtop app for mac.

P = pressure (Pa)

R_air = 287.05 = individual gas constant [J/kg K]

T = absolute temperature [K]

Example: The density of dry air at atmospheric pressure 101.325 kPa (101325 Pa) and 0 ^oC (= 273.15 K) can be calculated as

Atomic Mass Of O2 In Grams

ρ = 101325 [Pa] / (287.05 [J/kg K]*273.15 [K])

= 1.292 [kg/m³]

Water Vapor

Water vapor is almost always present in air. The content may vary and the maximum amount possible of water vapor in dry air depends on the temperature of the air.

Water vapor - H₂O - is composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is the lightest element with a molar mass of 1 g/mol, while oxygen has 16 g/mol. Thus, the water vapor atom has an molar mass of 18 g/mol, and water vapor is lighter than O₂ with 32 g/mol and N₂ with 28 g/mol.

• Note! Water vapor in air will dilute the other gases and reduce the total density of the mixture. Dry air is more dense than humid air!

The vapor in air may saturate to droplets when temperature is decreased or pressure is increased.

Humid air containing water molecules as liquid - droplets - may be more dense than dry air or humid air containing water only as vapor.
