A given sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume at a pressure and absolute temperature . The mass of each molecule of the gas is . Which of the following gives the density of the gas?
According to the Ideal Gas Equation in terms of the number of molecules (): , where is the Boltzmann constant . Rearranging for number density (): .
The density () of the gas is the total mass per unit volume. Since the mass of one molecule is , the total mass is . .
Substituting the value of from the gas equation: .
