Answer:
The density is 0.0187 g/L
Explanation:
First thing to do here is to calculate the Volume of 1 mole of CO2 using the ideal gas equation
Mathematically;
PV = nRT
thus V = nRT/P
what we have are;
n = 1 mole
R is the molar has constant = 0.082 L•atm•mol^-1•K^-1
P is the pressure = 0.0079 atm
T is temperature = 227 K
Substituting these values, we have;
V = nRT/P = (1 * 0.082 * 227)/0.0079
V = 2,356.20 dm^3
This means according to the parameters given in the question, the volume of 1 mole of carbon iv oxide is 2,356.20 dm^3
But this is not what we want to calculate
What we want to calculate is the density
Mathematically, we can calculate the density using the formula below;
density = molar mass/molar volume
Kindly recall that the molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44 g/mol
Thus the density = 44/2356.20 = 0.018674136321195 which is approximately 0.0187 g/L
