How much oxygen will we need to fully combust 100 grams of diamond given in weight and volume at standard pressure and temperature




diamond is pure C, so just take the mass, look up how many atoms ("mole") per mass.
Realize that the result of combustion is CO2, meaning 2 oxygen atoms per atom C, look up the mass per mole of oxygen, et voilá.


Then look up what gases at one atmosphere pressure take up in terms of volume and you have that, also.
