1. What is Oxygen Density?

Oxygen has a density of 1.429 kg/m³ at standard temperature and pressure (STP: 0°C and 1 atm). Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

\[ \text{Weight} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} \]

Where:

Density — 1.429 kg/m³ (oxygen at STP)
Volume — Input volume in cubic meters (m³)

Explanation: The calculation assumes standard conditions (STP). For non-STP conditions, more complex equations would be needed.

3. Importance of Oxygen Weight Calculation

Details: Knowing the weight of oxygen is important for industrial applications, medical oxygen storage, scuba diving tanks, and various scientific calculations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the volume in cubic meters (m³). The calculator will provide the weight based on oxygen's density at STP.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is STP?
A: Standard Temperature and Pressure (0°C and 1 atmosphere pressure).

Q2: How does temperature affect oxygen density?
A: Density decreases with increasing temperature (Charles' Law).

Q3: How does pressure affect oxygen density?
A: Density increases with increasing pressure (Boyle's Law).

Q4: What's the difference between weight and mass?
A: Mass is constant, while weight depends on gravity. On Earth, we often use them interchangeably.

Q5: Can I use this for other gases?
A: No, this is specific to oxygen. Other gases have different densities.
