1. What is the density of a sample of ammonia gas, NH, if the pressure is 0.928 atm and the temperature is 63 degrees
Celsius?

Respuesta :

Answer : The density of a sample of ammonia gas is, 0.572 g/L

Explanation :

To calculate the density of ammonia gas we are using ideal gas equation.

[tex]PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{w}{V}\frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\frac{\rho RT}{M}[/tex]

where,

P = pressure of ammonia gas = 0.928 atm

V = volume of ammonia  gas

n = number of moles of ammonia gas

w = mass of ammonia gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature of ammonia gas = [tex]63^oC=273+63=336K[/tex]

M = molar mass of ammonia gas = 17 g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]P=\frac{\rho RT}{M}[/tex]

[tex]0.928atm=\frac{\rho \times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (336K)}{17g/mol}[/tex]

[tex]\rho=0.572g/L[/tex]

Therefore, the density of a sample of ammonia gas is, 0.572 g/L
