#"Mass of dioxygen gas"~=8*g#

Explanation:

We solve for #"mass"# using the old Ideal Gas equation...

#"mass"=(PV)/(RT)xx"molar mass of the gas"#

#=(6.25*Lxx100*kPaxx32.00*g*mol^-1)/(8.314*Lā€‰*kPa *K^-1ā€‰*mol^-1xx298*K)#

#=??*g#

With these problems, you simply just have to know that most of the elemental gases (all of them save the Noble Gases) are bimolecular.
