A sample of oxygen gas at a temperature and pressure has a density of 1.3gl. What is the density of propane(C3H8) gas under the same condition
To calculate the density of propane under the same conditions as oxygen, we can use the following formula:
Density of propane = (Molar mass of propane / Molar mass of oxygen) * Density of oxygen
First, we need to determine the molar mass of propane and oxygen:
Propane (C3H8): (3 * 12.01) + (8 * 1.01) = 44.07 g/mol (rounded to two decimal places)
Oxygen (O2): 2 * 16 = 32 g/mol
Now, we can calculate the density of propane:
Density of propane = (44.07 g/mol / 32 g/mol) * 1.3 g/L = 1.814 g/L
Therefore, the density of propane under the same conditions as oxygen is 1.814 g/L.
