<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT 
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>

Answer: Density of the gas is 2.57 g/L.

Explanation: Converting the mass of phosphorous gas into its moles using the formula:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of phosphorous gas = 15 g

Molar mass of phosphorous gas = 31 g/mol

Using above equation, we get

n=\frac{15g}{31g/mol}=0.484moles

Using Ideal gas equation, which is:

PV=nRT

Given:

P = 2 atm

T=20^oC=(273+20)K=293K    (Conversion Factor: 0^oC=273K )

n = 0.484 moles (Calculated above)

R=0.082057\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}  (Gas Constant)

Putting all the values in above equation, we calculate the number of moles.

2atm\times V=(0.484moles)(0.082057\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1})(293K)

V = 5.818 L

Now, to calculate density, we use the formula:

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density=\frac{15g}{5.818L}

Density = 2.57 g/L
