Chapter 5, Problem 54E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Identity of diatomic gas that has density of $\text{3}\text{.164 g/L}$ is to be found at STP.

Concept introduction:The assimilation of various gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s results in formulation of ideal gas equation .The formula to calculate density from molecular weight is as follows:

  $d=\frac{PM}{RT}$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $n$ denotes number of moles.
• $T$ denotes temperature.
• $P$ denotes pressure.
