Question

8. The density of a gas at 350 C is 0,087 g/L. Compute the density at STP.

Answer 1

0.20 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of the gas (M)

At T = 350 °C = 623 K and P = 1 atm (we will assume this data), the density (ρ) of the gas is 0.087 g/L. We can calculate the molar mass of the gas using the following expression.

ρ = P × M/R × T

M = ρ × R × T/P

M = 0.087 g/L × (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 623 K/1 atm = 4.5 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the density of the gas at STP

At standard temperature (T = 273.15 K) and standard pressure (P = 1 atm), the density of the gas is:

ρ = P × M/R × T

ρ = 1 atm × 4.5 g/mol /(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 273.15 K = 0.20 g/L
