Carbon monoxide is a gas at 0 °c and a pressure of 1.58 × 105 pa. it is a diatomic gas, each of its molecules consisting of one carbon atom (atomic mass = 12.0 u) and one oxygen atom (atomic mass = 16.0 u). assuming that carbon monoxide is an ideal gas, calculate its density ρ.

Given temperature = [tex] 0^{0}C = (0^{0} + 273 )K = 273 K [/tex]

Pressure = 1.58 ×[tex] 10^{5} Pa [/tex] ×[tex] \frac{1 atm}{1.01325*10^{5}Pa} [/tex]

= 1.56 atm

[tex] Density =\frac{PM}{RT} [/tex]

ρ = [tex] \frac{(1.56 atm)(28.01 g/mol)}{(0.08206 L.atm/mol.K)(273 K)} [/tex]

= 1.95 g/L
