Question

There are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions. In this problem we will examine what the temperature of these various phenomena are. Give an expression for the temperature of an ideal gas in terms of pressure P, particle density per unit volume rho and fundamental constants.

Answer 1

Answer:

P = ρRT/M

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation is given as follows generally:

PV = nRT (1)

P = pressure in the containing vessel

V = volume of the containing vessel

n = number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature in K

n = m/M

m = mass of the gas contained in the vessel in g

M = molar mass in g/mol

ρ = m/V

Density of the gas = ρ

Substituting for n in (1)

PV = mRT/M. (2)

Dividing equation (2) through by V

P = m/V ×RT/M

P = ρRT/M
