At \(273 \mathrm{~K}\) temperature and \(76 \mathrm{~cm~} \mathrm{Hg}\) pressure, the density of a gas is \(1.964 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} .\) The gas is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: Molar mass of gas \((\mathrm{M})=\frac{\mathrm{dRT}}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{1.964 \times 0.0821 \times 273}{1}\) \(=44 \mathrm{~g}\) Hence, the gas is \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
