Determine the density of chlorine gas at 22.0C and 1.00 atm of pressure. R = .0821 L*atm/mol*K Chlorine gas has a molar mass of 70.90 g/mol.

0.197 g/mol

1.97 g/mol

2.93 g/mol

The form of the Ideal Gas Law that uses density is M = DRT/P, where D is the given density of a gas. Remember that density is mass/volume. M is the molar mass of the gas in question. What is the molar mass of a pure gas that has a density of 1.40g/L at STP? Remember that STP is standard temperature and pressure, which is 273 K and 1.00 atm. R = .0821 L*atm/mol*K.

15.7 g/mol

31.4 g/mol

3.14 g/mol

16 g/mol

What is the number of moles of gas contained in a 3.0L vessel at 300K with a pressure of 1.50 atm? PV = nRT R = .0821 L*atm/mol*K.

4.25 mol

2.50 mol

4.50 mol

3.75 mol
