<p>Hey Dr. Pounds,</p>
<p>On quiz 2, question 1 part b.... I don't understand how you
got the moles of O2 (.209476). Can you explain that to me?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

Avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases contain equal
moles of gases. For that reason the volumes percentages given in
the question can be directly related to the mole fractions.
20.9476% O2 would be a mole fraction of 0.209476.<br>
