Homework Statement
In a portable oxygen system, the oxygen (O2) is contained in a cylinder whose volume is 0.00260 m3. A full cylinder has an absolute pressure of 1.00e7 Pa when the temperature is 299 K. Find the mass of oxygen in the cylinder.
Homework Equations
PV=nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
So first I solved for n in the PV=nRT eqn, (1.00e7)(.00260)/(8.31)(299K)= 935499.4 moles. After I obtained the Moles I multiplied by avadro's number (6.022e23) to get molecules, and than I multiplied by 1.6605e-27kg/atomic units to get mass. Aparently my answer is incorrect, where did I go wrong for solving this problem?
