1. What is CO2 Gas Density?

Definition: This calculator converts the density of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from kg/m³ to g/mL.

Purpose: It helps scientists, engineers, and students work with CO₂ density in different unit systems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \rho \) — Density in g/mL
• \( \rho_{kg/m³} \) — Density in kg/m³

Explanation: 1 kg/m³ equals 0.001 g/mL, so we divide the kg/m³ value by 1000 to convert to g/mL.

3. Importance of CO₂ Density

Details: CO₂ density is crucial for industrial applications, climate studies, and laboratory experiments where precise measurements are needed.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the CO₂ density in kg/m³ (default 1.98 kg/m³ at STP). The value must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the typical density of CO₂ at STP?
A: At standard temperature and pressure (STP), CO₂ has a density of about 1.98 kg/m³ or 0.00198 g/mL.

Q2: Why convert between these units?
A: Different scientific fields use different units - kg/m³ is common in physics while g/mL is often used in chemistry.

Q3: How does temperature affect CO₂ density?
A: Density decreases with increasing temperature at constant pressure (following the ideal gas law).

Q4: What's the density of liquid CO₂?
A: Liquid CO₂ is much denser (~1,100 kg/m³ or 1.1 g/mL) than gaseous CO₂.

Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact - accuracy depends on your input value's precision.
