Question

Calculate the density of radon at 285 K and 1.00 atm of pressure.

Radon (222 g/mol) is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the ground and in building materials. It is easily inhaled and emits alpha particles
when it decays. Cumulative radon exposure is a significant risk factor for lung cancer.
