Question
![**Problem Statement:**
An unknown gas at 49.1 °C and 1.05 atm has a molar mass of 30.07 g/mol. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the density of the gas?
**Density Calculation:**
Density: [ _______ ] g/L
**Explanation:**
To find the density of the gas, use the ideal gas law and the relationship between molar mass, pressure, temperature, and volume. The ideal gas equation is:
\[ PV = nRT \]
Where:
- \( P \) = pressure in atm
- \( V \) = volume in liters
- \( n \) = number of moles
- \( R \) = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)
- \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin
**Steps to calculate density:**
1. Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
\[ T(K) = 49.1 + 273.15 \]
2. Use the density formula derived from the ideal gas law:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{PM}{RT} \]
Where \( M \) is the molar mass in g/mol.
3. Substitute the known values into the formula to calculate the density in g/L.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4ef56a00-edb3-41ae-a483-7337cfe3ed88%2Fb43c6567-5e57-4bb6-9f3f-ca7259142fc3%2Fv98xjgs_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
