G a sealed container holds 0.020 moles of nitrogen (n2) gas, at a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres and a temperature of 290 k. the atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0 g/mol. the boltzmann constant is 1.38 × 10-23 j/k and the ideal gas constant is r = 8.314 j/ mol · k = 0.0821 l · atm/mol · k. the mass density of the gas is closest to

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is as follows.

n = 0.020 moles, P = 1.5 atm

T = 290 K, molar mass of nitrogen = 14.0 g/mol

R = 8.314 J/mol, d = ?

It is known that the relation between density, pressure, and temperature is as follows.

P =
\frac{d}{\text{molar mass}} * RT

Putting the given values into the above relation and calculate the density as follows.

P =
\frac{d}{\text{molar mass}} * RT

1.5 atm =
(d)/(14.0 g/mol) * 8.314 * 290 K

d =
(1.5 atm * 14.0 g/mol)/(8.314 L atm/mol K * 290 K)

=
1.74 * 10^(-4) g

Thus, we can conclude that density of the given gas is
1.74 * 10^(-4) g.

Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. For gases we use the ideal gas equation to solve for density. We do as follows: PV = nRT PV = mRT / MM Density = m/V = PMM / RT From the given conditions of the nitrogen gas, we substitute the given values as follows: Density = PMM / RT Density = 1.5 atm ( 28.02 g / mol) / (0.08205 L-atm / mol-K) (290 K) Density = 1.77 g/L Therefore, the density of the gas is 1.77 g per liter.
