Find the Density at STP CO_2

$C O_{2}$

Step 1

To find the mass of $1$ mole of $C O_{2}$ look up the atomic mass of each element and multiply it by the number of atoms contained in each element in the molecule.

mass of $1$ mole of $C O_{2}$ $=$ $(mass of C)$ + $2 (mass of O)$

Step 2

Fill in the atomic masses from the periodic table.

mass of $1$ mole of $C O_{2}$ $=$ $(12.01000022)$ + $2 (16)$

Step 3

Simplify the result.

Multiply $2$ by $16$ .

mass of $1$ mole of $C O_{2} = 12.01000022 + 32 g$

Add $12.01000022$ and $32$ .

mass of $1$ mole of $C O_{2} = 44.01000022 g$

Step 4

One mole of any gas occupies $22.4 L$ at STP (standard temperature and pressure).

$V = 22.4 L$

Step 5

Density is mass over volume.

$\frac{44.01000022 g}{22.4 L}$

Step 6

Factor $44.01000022$ out of $44.01000022 g$ .

$\frac{44.01000022 (g)}{22.4 L}$

Step 7

Factor $22.4$ out of $22.4 L$ .

$\frac{44.01000022 (g)}{22.4 (L)}$

Step 8

Separate fractions.

$\frac{44.01000022}{22.4} \cdot \frac{g}{L}$

Step 9

Divide $44.01000022$ by $22.4$ .

$1.96473215 \frac{g}{L}$

Step 10

Combine $1.96473215$ and $\frac{g}{L}$ .

$\frac{1.96473215 g}{L}$
