Q.

A cylinder contains hydrogen gas at pressure of 249 kPa and temperature 27°C. Its density is (R=8.3Jmol-1K-1)            [2020]

1 0.5kg/m3  
2 0.2kg/m3  
3 0.1kg/m3  
4 0.02kg/m3  

Ans.

(2)

Here, P=249 kPa=249×103 Pa

T=27°C=27+273=300K,  M=2×10-3kg

Equation of state, PV=nRT

or     PM=ρRT                                 [n=mM]

or     ρ=PMRT

Substituting the values,

ρ=(249×103)(2×10-3)8.3×300=0.2kg/m3
