Ideal gas relation is expressed as PV =nRT; n= mass/Molecular weight).

So, PV= (mass/molecular weight) RT, make mass as subject, and hence derive density is mass/volume. V for volume cancels out you arrive at 2 as answer.

PV=nRT ;n=PV/RT ; P=2 atm, 22.4 L/mole, 0.08205 L-atm/mole-K; T=263+273
n= 0.98; mwCO2= 44kg/mole.

Density = mass/volume;
Mass = nMW = 0.98(44kg/mole) = 43.43 kg/mole.
Density = 43.43/ 22.4 L/mole = 1,98 kg/liter.

Density of an Ideal Gas (D i. g.):

D i. g. = PM/RT ; P= Pressure, M = Molecular Weight, R = Gas constant, and T = temperature (absolute).

M (CO2) = 40.

D i. g. = 2(40)/(0.0821)(263+273.15) ~ = 2 g/L or 2 kg/m3.

PV = (g/m)RT.

Density, g/V = (PM/RT),
Here, P = 2atm, M = 44, R = 0.0821L atm/mol/k, T = (263 + 273)k.

= (2 * 44)/(0.821 * 536) = 2 gm/L= 2 kg/m^3.

M(CO2) = 44 gm,
PV = nRT,
PV = (M/m) * RT,
Density = mass/vol,
= (2 * 44)/(0.8205 * (263 + 273)) = 2 kg/m^3.

M(CO2) = 44 gm.

= (2*1.01325*100000*0.044)/(8.314*(263+273)).

= 2 kg/m3.
