Question

carbon dioxide at 25 degrees celsius and 101.3 kpa has a density of 1.799 kg/m^3 determine gas constant

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature of gas in absolute scale T = 25 + 273 = 298 .

pressure of gas P = 1.013 x 10⁵ N / m²

density D = 1.799 kg / m³

= 1799 g / m³

From gas formula

PV / T = n R Where P is pressure , V is volume and T is absolute temperature , n is no of moles

P / T = n R / V

P / T = m R /M V where m is mass of gas and M is molecular weight .

m / V = D ( density )

P / T = DR/ M  

PM / DT = R

Putting the values

1.013 x 10⁵ x 44  /  (1799 x 298)

R = 8.314.09 J / K mole
