Density

1.Calculate the density of nitrogen in g.dm-3 under normal conditions.

Solution:

We substitute the values from the task and from tables into the equation for calculating density from the state equation.

Ar (N)=14.01

The density of nitrogen N2 under normal conditions is 1.25 g.dm-3.


2.Calculate the density of mercury in g.cm-3 at 20°C, if the molar volume of mercury at this temperature is 0.0148 dm3.mol-1.

Solution:

From tables we find M(Hg) = 200.59 g.mol-1. Substitute the values into the formula:

The density of mercury at 20°C is 13.6 g.cm-3.


3.Determine the molar mass of a gas that has a density of 1.429 kg.m-3 under normal conditions.

Solution:

From the density we can logically infer that 1000 liters of gas has a mass of 1.429 kg. Under normal conditions 1 mol of gas occupies 22.41 liters.

1000 l of gas.......................1.429 kg

22.41 l of gas......................x kg

The molar mass of the unknown gas is 32.01 g.mol-1. From tables we see that it is oxygen.


4.It was measured that the density of an unknown gaseous saturated hydrocarbon is 21.88 times higher than the density of hydrogen under the same experimental conditions (pressure and temperature). Calculate the molar mass of the hydrocarbon and identify it using tables.
