The density of a gas is \(1.964 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}\) at \(273 \mathrm{~K}\) and \(76 \mathrm{~cm}\) Hg. The gas is

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
  4. D Xe
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M=\frac{d R T}{p}=\frac{1.964 \times 0.0821 \times 273}{1}\) \[ M=44 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol} \] \(\therefore\) So, gas is \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\).
