An oxygen cylinder of volume $30 \; L$ has an initial gauge pressure of $15 \; atm$ and a temperature of $27 \; ^{\circ}C$. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder,the gauge pressure drops to $11 \; atm$ and its temperature drops to $17 \; ^{\circ}C$. Estimate the mass (in $kg$) of oxygen taken out of the cylinder ($R = 8.31 \; J \; mol^{-1} K^{-1}$,molecular mass of $O_{2} = 32 \; u$).

  • A
    $0.13$
  • B
    $0.26$
  • C
    $0.42$
  • D
    $0.56$
