What is the density of Radon (Rn) gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure)? How do I solve/set up this problem? Thank you!

If it is a perfect gas it is 22.4 moles per liter at STP

molecular mass = 222 grams/mol
so

222 grams/22.4 liter = 9.91 grams/liter

You can convert that to Kg/m^3 or whatever if you chose.

22.4 liters / mol

look under section on Standard temperature and pressure
It is worth remembering that one mole is 22.4 liters at STP because often it is faster than going through P V = n R T
This is helpful thank you!
You are welcome :)
