A. Density of a gas at STP. The formula D= M/V is used at STP with M being equal to the molar mass and V being molar volume of a gas (22.4 liter/mole). Recall Avagadro’s Principle for Gases (1811)- equal volumes of all gases at the same condition contain the same number of molecules.

Nitrogen gas is only slightly lighter than air and readily mixes with air at room temperature. Cold vapors are more dense and will settle. Liquid nitrogen, a cryogenic liquid, has a very low boil- ing point of –320°F.

Neon

Hydrogen. Hydrogen, being the lightest existing gas (7% the density of air), seems to be the most appropriate gas for lifting. It can be easily produced in large quantities, for example with the water-gas shift reaction, but hydrogen has several disadvantages: Hydrogen is extremely flammable.

CH4

An especially notable irregular maximum density is that of water, which reaches a density peak at 4 °C (39 °F). This has important ramifications in Earth’s ecosystem.

As all gases that are behaving ideally have the same number density, they will all have the same molar volume. At STP this will be 22.4 L. This is useful if you want to envision the distance between molecules in different samples. For instance if you have a sample of liquid water, it has a mass density of 1 g mL-1.

1.43 g/L.

1.24kg/m3

How do I estimate gas densities at STP?

1. Find the molar volume. At STP, one mole of an ideal gas will occupy 22.414 L.
2. Find the molar mass. You know the mass of one mole of each gas from its molecular weight.
3. Density is mass over volume, so dividing the molar mass by the molar volume gives you the density.

STP most commonly is used when performing calculations on gases, such as gas density is calculated using stp = Volume of Gas*(273/Temperature of Gas)*(Pressure of Gas/100). To calculate STP, you need Volume of Gas (V), Temperature of Gas (T) and Pressure of Gas (P).

And at STP each one mole of gas occupy 22.4L . So, molar volume of SO3=22.4L S O 3 = 22.4 L . Thus, required density of SO3=80g22.4L=3.571g/L S O 3 = 80 g 22.4 L = 3.571 g / L .

around 1.98 kg/m3

So the density of flourine at room temperature and 1 atm pressure is 38 grams/24.4 liters or 1.55 grams/liter.

1.33 g/L

0.847 g/L

3.17 g/L

What is the density of helium gas at STP? If the density of the gas is equal to , then FW= 4.00 g/mol, 22.4 L/mol, so the density = 0.179 g/L….

Gas densities are typically reported in g/L. Gas density can be calculated from molar mass and molar volume.
