Determine the specific gravity of chlorine (C2) gas at 25 degrees Celsius [\'C)

Question

Determine the specific gravity of chlorine (C2) gas at 25 degrees Celsius ['C) and a pressure of 0.8 atmospheres [atmj. Assume chlorine is an ideal gas and obeys the ideal gas law. The molecular weight of chiorine is 70 grams per mole [g/mol.

The specific gravity is (Round your answer to three significant digits )

Explanation / Answer

By using the universal gas law we have

PM = p RT

Where P = pressure , M = moleccular weight

0.8*0.07 = p*0.0821*(273+25)

p = 0.0022 gm/cm3 = 2.22 kg/m3

specific gravity = 2.22 / 1000 = 0.0022
