given that 140.ml of chlorine gas weighs 0.450 g find the density of chlorine in grams per liter(g/liter).
To find the density of chlorine gas in grams per liter (g/L), we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of chlorine gas is 0.450 g and the volume is 140 mL, we need to convert the volume from milliliters (mL) to liters (L) because density is typically expressed in g/L.
To convert mL to L, divide the volume by 1000:
Volume in L = 140 mL / 1000 = 0.140 L
Now we can calculate the density:
Density = 0.450 g / 0.140 L
Dividing 0.450 g by 0.140 L, we find that the density of chlorine gas is approximately 3.214 g/L.
