Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert Mass to Moles
First, we need to convert the mass of $\mathrm{O}_2$ from milligrams to grams:
\[ 200 \, \text{mg} = 0.200 \, \text{g} \]
Next, we use the molar mass of $\mathrm{O}_2$ to convert grams to moles. The molar mass of $\mathrm{O}_2$ is \(32.00 \, \text{g/mol}\):
\[ \text{moles of } \mathrm{O}_2 = \frac{0.200 \, \text{g}}{32.00 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.00625 \, \text{mol} \]
Step 2: Convert Temperature to Kelvin
The temperature is given in degrees Celsius. We need to convert it to Kelvin:
\[ T = 35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} + 273.15 = 308.15 \, \text{K} \]
Step 3: Convert Pressure to Atmospheres
The pressure is given in mmHg. We need to convert it to atmospheres using the conversion factor \(1 \, \text{atm} = 760 \, \text{mmHg}\):
\[ P = \frac{740 \, \text{mmHg}}{760 \, \text{mmHg/atm}} = 0.9737 \, \text{atm} \]
Step 4: Use the Ideal Gas Law to Find Volume
We use the ideal gas law \(PV = nRT\) to find the volume \(V\). The gas constant \(R\) is \(0.0821 \, \text{L·atm/(mol·K)}\):
\[ V = \frac{nRT}{P} = \frac{(0.00625 \, \text{mol})(0.0821 \, \text{L·atm/(mol·K)})(308.15 \, \text{K})}{0.9737 \, \text{atm}} \]
Step 5: Calculate the Volume
Perform the calculation:
\[ V = \frac{(0.00625)(0.0821)(308.15)}{0.9737} \approx 0.1626 \, \text{L} \]
