Final Answer:

The density of krypton at 47°C and 671 mmHg is 2.82 g/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a gas can be calculated using the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where:

P is the pressure (in atm)

V is the volume (in liters)

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the ideal gas constant (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K)

T is the temperature (in Kelvin)

First, we need to convert the pressure from mmHg to atm:

P = (671 mmHg) × (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.883 atm

Next, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:

T = (47°C) + 273.15 = 320.15 K

The molar mass of krypton is 83.798 g/mol.

Now we can plug all of these values into the ideal gas law to solve for the density (ρ):

ρ = n/V = (P/RT) × (M/molar mass)

where:

M is the mass of the gas

m is the molar mass of the gas

ρ = (0.883 atm / (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K) × (320.15 K)) × (83.798 g/mol) = 2.82 g/L

Therefore, the density of krypton at 47°C and 671 mmHg is 2.82 g/L.
