Question

An evacuated 276 mL glass bulb weighs 129.6375 g. Filled with an unknown gas, the bulb weighs 130.0318 g. Calculate the gas density in g/L, and express it with an appropriate number of significant figures

Answer 1

Answer:

density=1.43 g/L

Explanation:

Since the density formula is density = mass / volume, we need to find out the mass of the gas and the volume is that of the container.

The mass of the gas is  130.0318 g-129.6375 g=0.3943 g

The gas volume is  276mL*(1L/1000mL) 0.276 L

density = mass / volume=0.3943g/0.276L

density =1.43g/L
