Answer

$d=1.25\frac{g}{L}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $PV=nRT$ But $n=\frac{m}{M}$ Where $m$ and$M$ are mass in grams and molar mass respectively $\implies PV=\frac{mRT}{M}$ This can be rearranged as $PM=\frac{m}{V}RT$ But $d=\frac{m}{V}$ where $d$ represents density $\implies PM=dRT$ This can be rearranged as $d=\frac{PM}{RT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=\frac{1.00\times 28.0134}{0.08206\times 273.15}=1.25\frac{g}{L}$
