Answer:

0.172g/L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question:

Temperature (T) = 17°C

Pressure (P) = 773 torr

Step 2:

Conversion to appropriate unit:

For pressure :

760 torr = 1 atm

Therefore, 773 torr = 773/760 = 1.02 atm

For temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

temperature (celsius) = 17°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 17°C + 273 = 290K.

Step 3:

Obtaining an expression for the density.

From the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, we can obtain an equation for the density as follow:

PV = nRT. (1)

But: number of mole(n) = mass (m)/Molar Mass(M) i.e

n = m/M

Substitute the value of n into equation 1

PV = nRT

PV = mRT/M

Divide both side by m

PV /m = RT/M

Divide both side by P

V/m = RT/MP

Invert the above equation

m/V = MP/RT (2)

Recall:

density (d) = mass(m) / volume(V) i.e

d = m/V

Replace m/V in equation 2 with d

m/V = MP/RT

d = MP/RT.

Step 4:

Determination of the density.

Temperature (T) = 290K

Pressure (P) = 1.02 atm

Molar Mass of helium (M) = 4g/mol

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Density (d) =?

d = MP/RT

d = 4 x 1.02 / 0.082 x 290

d = 0.172g/L

Therefore, the density of the helium gas is 0.172g/L

Hanna hypothesizes that granite is denser than sandstone. How can Hanna test her hypothesis?
kherson [118]
To test if the hypothesis is correct, a good way is to think of it this way:
Density = mass/volume, right?
Calculate the mass and volume of each and do the equation; this will test your hypothesis.
You will be left with the density of each. But, make sure that the sample sizes are the same (controlled variable) otherwise it will be an unfair test.
