Answer:

0.9g/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the density of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at 0.7 atm and 322 K, we can use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure in atmospheres (atm), V is the volume in liters (L), n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant (0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K)), and T is the temperature in Kelvin (K).

We can rearrange this equation to solve for the number of moles of gas:

n = PV / RT

Next, we can use the molar mass of H2S (34.08 g/mol) to convert the number of moles to mass:

mass = n × molar mass

Finally, we can divide the mass by the volume to obtain the density:

density = mass/volume

Let's assume a volume of 1 L (since the volume is not given in the question). Then we have:

P = 0.7 atm

T = 322 K

R = 0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K)

molar mass of H2S = 34.08 g/mol

First, we calculate the number of moles of H2S using the ideal gas law:

n = PV / RT

n = (0.7 atm) (1 L) / (0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K) × 322 K)

n = 0.0265 mol

Next, we calculate the mass of H2S using the number of moles and the molar mass:

mass = n × molar mass

mass = 0.0265 mol × 34.08 g/mol

mass = 0.9 g

Finally, we calculate the density of H2S:

density = mass/volume

density = 0.9g/1 L

density = 0.9 g/L

Therefore, the density of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at 0.7 atm and 322 K is approximately 0.9g/L.
