Using ideal gas law, pV = nRT

            Where, p = pressure in atm = 1 atm

            V =volume in L

            n = number of moles = 1           [standard condition]

            R = universal gas constant= 0.08205746 atm L mol-1K-1

Volume, V = nRT/ P = [1 mol x (0.08205746 atm L mol-1K-1) x 288 K ] = 23.63255 L

Mass of 1 mole N2 gas = moles x molecular mss

                                    = 1 mole x 28.014 g mol-1

                                    = 28.014 g

Density = mass / volume

            = 28.014 g / 23.63255 L = 1.185 g/ L
