The density of no2 in a 4.50 l tank at 760.0 torr and 25.0 °c is ________ g/l.
kap26 [50]
From  ideal  gas  equation   that   is   PV=nRT
n(number of  moles)=PV/RT
P=760 torr
V=4.50L
R(gas  constant =62.363667torr/l/mol
T=273 +273=298k
n  is   therefore   (760torr x4.50L) /62.36367 torr/L/mol  x298k  =0.184moles
the  molar  mass  of  NO2 is  46  therefore  density=  0.184  x  46=8.464g/l
