Gas Density vs Pressure (P)

Formule

## Gas Density from Ideal Gas Law ### Formula **d = PM / (RT)** Where: - **d** = density (g/L) - **P** = pressure (atm) - **M** = molar mass (g/mol) - **R** = 0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K) - **T** = temperature (K) Derived from PV = nRT by substituting n = mass/M and d = mass/V.

Exemple Résolu

Calculate the density of air (avg M = 28.97 g/mol) at 1 atm and 273.15 K.

  1. 01d = PM / (RT)
  2. 02d = (1)(28.97) / (0.08206 × 273.15)
  3. 03d = 28.97 / 22.414
  4. 04d = 1.292 g/L

Questions Fréquentes

Why does gas density depend on pressure and temperature?

Unlike liquids, gases are compressible. Higher pressure packs more molecules into a given volume, increasing density. Higher temperature expands gas, decreasing density.

What is the density of air at STP?

Air has an average molar mass of about 28.97 g/mol. At STP (1 atm, 273.15 K), its density is approximately 1.29 g/L.

Can I use this for real gases?

At moderate conditions it works well. For very high pressures or low temperatures, use the van der Waals equation or compressibility factor corrections.
