At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure: 1 atmosphere of pressure, 0oC), one mole of any gas will occupy 22.4 liters of space. One mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 1023 particles (similar to how a dozen is 12 of anything). Air is about 21% oxygen, depending upon your location and local biotic and abiotic factors.

So, at STP, 1 liter of air is about 0.21 liters of oxygen. To find out how many moles that represents, divide 0.21 by 22.4. Take that answer and multiply by 6.02 x 1023. It should be a very large number, on the order of 1021.

What diffuses faster air or oxygen gas why?

Oxygen gas diffuses faster than air because oxygen molecules are smaller and lighter than the molecules of air, which is mostly composed of nitrogen and oxygen. This allows oxygen molecules to move more quickly through a medium, such as air or other gases.

Is there more oxygen in seawater or air?

There is more oxygen in seawater. Seawater contains around 5 to 10 milligrams of oxygen per liter, while the concentration of oxygen in the air is about 210 milligrams per liter. However, the total amount of oxygen in the oceans is much higher due to their vast volume.


Does cold air have less oxygen compared to warm air?

Yes, cold air typically has more oxygen compared to warm air because cold air is denser and can hold more oxygen molecules.


Do air molecules have mass?

Yes, air molecules do have mass. Air is made up of various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and each of these gas molecules contributes to the overall mass of the air.


What do people breathe?

Air: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% other. We breathe oxygen and other molecules.


Why the pressure of oxygen becomes low at high altitudes?

At higher altitudes, the air pressure decreases because the air molecules are more spread out. This reduction in pressure means there are fewer oxygen molecules available in the air to be breathed in, leading to lower oxygen levels at high altitudes.
