Solution

  • Given information

1kg of hydrogen H2

  • Calculation of molecular weight of carbon dioxideCO2

MolecularweightofCO2=C+2O=12+2×16g=44g

  • Calculation of vapor density of CO2

Vapordensity=Molecularweight2=442=22

  • Calculation of mass of CO2

VapordensityofCO2=MassofCO2Massofhydrogenunderthesameconditionoftemperatureandpressure22=MassofCO21kgMassofCO2=22kg

Hence, the weight of CO2 the cylinder can hold under similar conditions of temperature and pressure is 22kg.
