Corn starch, like wood, consists of a carbohydrate complex, which is why it burns – but it will only ignite when it is dispersed in air. While it's packed in the container or in a pile on the counter it will not burst into flames due to insufficient oxygen.

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.

where, P = pressure, V = volume

n = no. of moles, R = gas constant

T = temperature

Also, density is equal to mass divided by volume. And, no. of moles equals mass divided by molar mass.

Therefore, then formula for ideal gas could also be as follows.

P = $\frac{mass}{volume \times molar mass} \times RT$

or, P = $\frac{density}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT$

Since, density is given as 0.789 g/ml which is also equal to 789 g/L (as 1000 mL = 1 L). Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

P = $\frac{density}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT$

= $\frac{789 g/l}{46.06 g/mol} \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 373 K$
