The correct answer is: $16 \mathrm{gm}$
$\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{RT}}{2 \mathrm{~V}-\mathrm{b}}-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{~b}^{2}}$
$\left[\mathrm{P}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{~b}^{2}}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{RT}}{2 \mathrm{~V}-\mathrm{b}}$
$2\left[\mathrm{P}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{~b}^{2}}\right]\left[\mathrm{V}-\frac{\mathrm{b}}{2}\right]=\mathrm{RT}$
$\left[\mathrm{P}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{~b}^{2}}\right]\left[\mathrm{V}-\frac{\mathrm{b}}{2}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{RT}}{2}$
$\therefore \mathrm{n}=1 / 2 \mathrm{~mole}$
$\therefore$ Mass of $\mathrm{O}_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 32=16 \mathrm{gm}$
