Answer:

.821 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

It does not matter what the gas is, just the number of moles to calculate volume....

Ideal Gas Law :

PV = n R T R = gas constant = .082057 L-atm/(mol-K) & T in Kelvin units

(1.18)(V) = 5 * .082057 * (25 + 273.15)

V = 103.67 Liters

NOW ...to calculate density, the gas IS important...

mole weight of NH3 (from periodic table) = 17.031 gm/mole

Density = mass / volume = (5 * 17.031) / 103.67 L = .821 gm/L
