Question

What is the density of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at 0.2 atm and 311 K?Answer in units of g/L

Answer 1

Density = 0.267 g/L

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Pressure of H2S = 0.2 atm

Temperature = 311 K

We know:

The molar mass of H2S = 34,1 g/mol

R constant = 0.08206 L.atm/K.mol

Solution:

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

We know that:

density = m/V

n = m/M

Therefore we can use the following equation to solve for density of H2S

`\begin{gathered} density\text{ = }(PM)/(RT) \\ density\text{ = }\frac{(0.2\text{ atm x 34,1 g/mol\rparen}}{(0.08206\text{ }L.atm/K.mol\text{ x 311 K\rparen}} \\ \\ density\text{ = 0.267 g/L} \end{gathered}`
