Q. Density of carbon monoxide is maximum at

KCETKCET 2014States of Matter

Solution:

From ideal gas equation,

$d=\frac{p M}{R T}$

$\because M$ and $R$ are constant for a particular gas

$\therefore d \propto \frac{p}{T}$, i.e.,

(a) $\frac{p}{T}=\frac{2}{600}=0.0033$

(b) $\frac{p}{T}=\frac{0.5}{273}=0.00183$

(c) $\frac{p}{T}=\frac{6}{1092}=0.00549$

(d) $\frac{p}{T}= \frac{4}{500}=0.0080$

$\because p / T$ ratio in highest at $4 atm$ and $500\, K$.

$\therefore $ Density of $CO _{2}$ is maximum at this condition.
