Solution

The correct option is A 1.3 g/L
We know that,
PV=nRT (ideal gas equation)
PV=mMRT(n=mM)PV=mvRTM(mv=d)P=dRTM
where,
pressure (P) = 2 bar , density (d)= ?
T = temperature =27+273=300K
R = gas constant =0.082 L atm mol1 K1
M = 16 g
Substituting the values in the formula
2×160.082×300=1.3 g/L.
