Answer: To calculate the density of the gas, we can use the ideal gas law, which states that:

PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

We can rearrange this equation to solve for density:

ρ=RTPM​

where ρ is the density of the gas, P is the pressure, M is the molar mass of the gas, R is the universal gas constant (8.3145mol⋅KJ​), and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

We are given that the temperature of the gas is 55.1°C or 328.25 K (since T(K)=T(°C)+273.15), and that its molar mass is 28.01 g/mol. However, we are not given any information about its pressure or volume.

Therefore, we cannot calculate the density of this gas without additional information about its pressure or volume.
