1. What is Oxygen Gas Density?

Definition: This calculator converts the density of oxygen gas from kg/m³ to g/mL.

Purpose: It helps in scientific and engineering calculations where density units need to be converted between these common measurement systems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \rho = \frac{\rho_{kg/m³}}{1000} \]

Where:

\( \rho \) — Density in g/mL
\( \rho_{kg/m³} \) — Density in kg/m³

Explanation: Since 1 kg/m³ equals 0.001 g/mL, we divide the kg/m³ value by 1000 to convert to g/mL.

3. Importance of Density Conversion

Details: Accurate density conversions are essential for chemical calculations, gas storage planning, and scientific experiments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the density in kg/m³ (default 1.43 kg/m³ for O₂ at STP). The value must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the density of oxygen at STP?
A: Oxygen gas has a density of approximately 1.43 kg/m³ (0.00143 g/mL) at standard temperature and pressure (0°C, 1 atm).

Q2: Why convert between these units?
A: Different scientific fields use different units - kg/m³ is common in physics while g/mL is common in chemistry.

Q3: Does temperature affect the density?
A: Yes, gas density decreases with increasing temperature at constant pressure (Charles's Law).

Q4: How precise should my input be?
A: For most applications, 2-4 decimal places are sufficient, but the calculator accepts up to 6 decimal places.

Q5: Can I use this for other gases?
A: Yes, this conversion works for any substance's density, though the default value is specific to oxygen.
