Answer: The density of chlorine gas is 3.17 g/L
Explanation:
At STP:
1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.
Molar mass is defined as the mass of 1 mole of a substance.
Molar mass of chlorine gas = 71 g/mol
To calculate the density of chlorine gas, we use the equation:
[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]
Mass of chlorine gas = 71 g
Volume of chlorine gas = 22.4 L
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Density of chlorine gas}=\frac{71g}{22.4L}=3.17g/L[/tex]
Hence, the density of chlorine gas is 3.17 g/L
