Solution

To find the density of the unknown gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where: P = pressure (in atm) V = volume (in L) n = number of moles R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K) T = temperature (in Kelvin)

First, we need to convert the given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin. To do this, we add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 T(K) = 40 + 273.15 T(K) = 313.15 K

Next, we can rearrange the ideal gas law equation to solve for the number of moles (n):

n = PV / RT

Substituting the given values into the equation:

n = (4.0 atm) * (V) / (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K) * (313.15 K)

Now, we need to calculate the volume (V) of the gas. However, we don't have enough information to directly calculate the volume. Therefore, we cannot determine the number of moles (n) and subsequently the density of the gas.

To find the density, we need to know the mass of the gas and its volume. Without the volume information, we cannot proceed with calculating the density.
