Answer

5.23 g/L

Work Step by Step

Recall: $d=\frac{PM}{RT}$ where $d$ is the density, $P$ is the pressure, $M$ is the molecular weight, $R$ is the universal gas constant and $T$ the temperature in K. Given/Known: $P=1.00\,atm, M=188\,g/mol, $ $R=0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ and $T=(165+273)K= 438\,K$ Substitute: $d=\frac{1.00\,atm\times188\,g/mol}{(0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1})(438\,K)}$ $=5.23\,g/L$
