Question

The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895.  Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities.  Their experimentally determined densities are:       

Oxygen                1.42952 g/L

Nitrogen              1.25718 g/L

Air                          1.29327 g/L

1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas.   He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.  What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?
