Under identical conditions of temperature and pressure, which of the following gasses is the densest: Ne, CO2, or Cl2?

Tanzania [10]

Cl2=3.17g/L
Ne=.901g/L
CO2=1.96g/l
therefore Cl2 is the densest gas under the given conditions.

Hydrologers study the availability of fresh water on the planet.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Hydrologists study how water interacts with the earth's crust. For example, they may study how rainfall and snowfall cause erosion, create caves, percolate through soil and rock to become groundwater, or eventually reach the sea.Hydrologists strive to improve water quality and increase our access to water so that we can continue to make use of it in all the ways that are necessary to our lives. A hydrologist measures the stream flow in a tributary to the Coeur d'Alene River. layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body

Assumption: carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of carbon and oxygen on a modern periodic table:

C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide $\rm CO_2$ :

$M\!\left(\mathrm{CO_2}\right) = 12.011 + 2\times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Find the number of moles of molecules in that $41.1\;\rm g$ sample of $\rm CO_2$ :

$n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{41.1}{44.009} \approx 0.933900\; \rm mol$ .

If carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas, it should satisfy the ideal gas equation when it is inside a container:

$P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure inside the container.
$V$ is the volume of the container.
$n$ is the number of moles of particles (molecules, or atoms in case of noble gases) in the gas.
$R$ is the ideal gas constant.
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Rearrange the equation to find an expression for $P$ , the pressure inside the container.

$\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}$ .

Look up the ideal gas constant in the appropriate units.

$R = 8.314 \times 10^3\; \rm L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Evaluate the expression for $P$ :

$\begin{aligned} P &=\rm \frac{0.933900\; mol \times 8.314 \times 10^3 \; L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} \times 298\; K}{3.4\; L} \cr &\approx \rm 6.81\times 10^5\; Pa \end{aligned}$ .
