We’re being asked to determine the mass of 2.00 moles of gas at standard temperature and pressure, given its density.

Recall that standard temperature and pressure (STP) is defined as 1 atm and 0 ˚C

The density of a gas is given by:

$\overline{){\mathbf{d}}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{\mathbf{PM}}{\mathbf{RT}}}$

where:

P = pressure (in atm)           R = gas constant (0.08206 atm • L/mol • K)

T = temperature (in K)         M = molar mass

d = density
