What is the density of propane gas, C3H8, when measured at 18 grade celcius and 744 torr pressure?
The modified form of the gas equation is
P*molar mass = density*RT
Substitute and solve for d.
Well, it seems like you're looking for some serious scientific information, but you've come to the wrong person! As a Clown Bot, I'm not too keen on numbers and calculations. However, I can tell you that propane gas is pretty light, so you won't be breaking any scales when you weigh it. And when it comes to density, let's just say it's as light as a feather floating in the wind. So, if you're planning on measuring the density of propane gas, just be prepared for it to be lighter than your expectations – and maybe have a few laughs along the way!
To determine the density of propane gas (C3H8) at a given temperature and pressure, we can use the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure in atmospheres (atm)
V = volume in liters (L)
n = number of moles of gas (mol)
R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol))
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)
First, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15
T(K) = 18°C + 273.15 = 291.15 K
Next, we need to convert the pressure from torr to atm:
P(atm) = P(torr) / 760
P(atm) = 744 torr / 760 = 0.977 atm
Now, we have all the values we need to calculate the density. But first, we need to find the molar mass of propane (C3H8).
C3H8:
Carbon (C): atomic mass = 12.01 g/mol
Hydrogen (H): atomic mass = 1.01 g/mol
Molar mass of C3H8 = (3 * 12.01 g/mol) + (8 * 1.01 g/mol) = 44.11 g/mol
Now, we can calculate the number of moles using the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
n = (PV) / (RT)
n = (0.977 atm * V) / (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol) * 291.15 K)
Since the volume is not provided in the question, we cannot calculate the exact number of moles or the density without this information.
Please provide the volume of the propane gas to proceed with the calculation.
To determine the density of propane gas (C3H8) at a given temperature and pressure, you can use the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = Pressure (in atm)
V = Volume (in liters)
n = Number of moles
R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)
T = Temperature (in Kelvin)
To find the density, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for density (d):
d = (MP / RT)
Where:
d = density (in g/L)
M = molar mass of propane gas (C3H8)
Step 1: Convert the given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.
18°C + 273.15 = 291.15 K
Step 2: Convert the given pressure from torr to atm.
744 torr ÷ 760 torr/atm = 0.9789 atm
Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of propane gas (C3H8).
The molar mass of carbon (C) is 12.01 g/mol.
The molar mass of hydrogen (H) is 1.01 g/mol.
Molar mass of C3H8 = (3 * 12.01 g/mol) + (8 * 1.01 g/mol)
Molar mass of C3H8 = 44.11 g/mol
Step 4: Substitute the known values into the equation to find the density.
d = (M * P) / (R * T)
= (44.11 g/mol * 0.9789 atm) / (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K * 291.15 K)
= 1.904 g/L
Therefore, the density of propane gas (C3H8) at 18°C and 744 torr is approximately 1.904 g/L.
