The density of carbon dioxide gas at pressure of 1.37 atm and a temperature of 38 °C is 2.36 g/L

How to calculate the density of carbon dioxide?

From the question given, we obtained the following parameters

  • Pressure of carbon dioxide (P) = 1.37 atm
  • Temperature of carbon dioxide (T) = 38 °C = 38 + 273 = 311 K
  • Molar mass of carbon dioxide (M) = 44 g/mol
  • Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/mol K
  • Density of carbon dioxide (D) =?

The density of carbon dioxide gas at pressure of 1.37 atm and a temperature of 38 °C can be calculated as follow:


D = (MP)/(RT) \\\\D = (44\ *\ 1.37)/(0.0821\ *\ 311)\\\\D = 2.36\ g/L

Therefore, the density of the carbon dioxide gas is 2.36 g/L

Complete question:

A sample of carbon dioxide gas has a density of ____ g/L at a pressure of 1.37 atm and a temperature of 38°C.
