Question

What is the density of carbon dioxide gas if 0.196g occupies a volume of 100mL?

Answer 1

We know that the equation for density is:

$D=\frac{m}{V}$

where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume.

Given two of the variables, we can then solve for density:

$D=\frac{0.196g}{100mL}= \frac{0.00196g}{mL}$

So therefore, we now know that the density of carbon dioxide gas is 0.00196g/mL.
