Predict the density of acetylene gas (C2H2) at 0.910 atm and 20oC.

d = 0.98 g/L

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of acetylene = ?

Pressure = 0.910 atm

Temperature = 20°C (20+273 = 293 K)

Solution:

Formula:

PM = dRT

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

M = molecular mass = 26.04 g/mol

0.910 atm × 26.04 g/mol = d × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K×293 K

23.7  atm.g/mol = d × 24.1 atm.L/mol

d = 23.7  atm.g/mol / 24.1 atm.L/mol

d = 0.98 g/L

where's the diagram?
