The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the density of hydrogen gas in a cylinder under the given conditions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Ideal Gas Law The ideal gas law is given by the equation: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \( P \) = pressure (in Pascals) - \( V \) = volume (in cubic meters) - \( n \) = number of moles - \( R \) = universal gas constant (\( 8.314 \, \text{J/(mol·K)} \)) - \( T \) = temperature (in Kelvin) ### Step 2: Convert Given Values to Appropriate Units 1. **Pressure**: The pressure is given as \( 80 \, \text{MPa} \). To convert this to Pascals: \[ P = 80 \, \text{MPa} = 80 \times 10^6 \, \text{Pa} \] 2. **Temperature**: The temperature is given as \( 25^\circ C \). To convert this to Kelvin: \[ T = 25 + 273 = 298 \, \text{K} \] 3. **Molecular Mass of Hydrogen**: The molecular mass of hydrogen (\( H_2 \)) is \( 2 \, \text{g/mol} \). To convert this to kilograms: \[ M = 2 \, \text{g/mol} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/mol} \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the Ideal Gas Law to Find Density Density (\( \rho \)) is defined as mass per unit volume. From the ideal gas law, we can express density as: \[ \rho = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{nM}{V} \] Using \( n = \frac{PV}{RT} \), we can substitute: \[ \rho = \frac{PM}{RT} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Values into the Density Formula Now we can substitute the values we have into the density formula: \[ \rho = \frac{(80 \times 10^6 \, \text{Pa}) \times (2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/mol})}{(8.314 \, \text{J/(mol·K)}) \times (298 \, \text{K})} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Density Now we perform the calculation: 1. Calculate the numerator: \[ 80 \times 10^6 \times 2 \times 10^{-3} = 160000 \, \text{kg·Pa} \] 2. Calculate the denominator: \[ 8.314 \times 298 = 2477.572 \, \text{J/(mol·K)} \] 3. Now divide the numerator by the denominator: \[ \rho = \frac{160000}{2477.572} \approx 64.57 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] ### Final Answer The density of hydrogen in the cylinder is approximately: \[ \rho \approx 64.57 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] ---
