    At STP 22400 ml of a gas is 1 mole

    500 ml of a gas = 0.0223 moles

    0.0223 moles weighs 0.72 grams

    1 mole weighs = 32.286 grams

    Apply Ideal Gas Equation

    PV = nRT

    P = Pressure

    V = Volume

    n = Moles (gram/molecular mass)

    R = Ideal Gas Constant

    T = Temperature

    take care of the units
