How does the density of a gas depend on the molar mass of the gas?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The density of the ideal gas is directly proportional to its molar mass.

Explanation:

Density is a scalar quantity that is denoted by the symbol ρ (rho). It is defined as the ratio of the mass (m) of the given sample and the total volume (V) of the sample.

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ ......equation (1)

According to the ideal gas law for ideal gas:

$PV = nRT$ ......equation (2)

Here, V is the volume of gas, P is the pressure of gas, T is the absolute temperature, R is Gas constant and n is the number of moles of gas

As we know,

The number of moles: $n = \frac{m}{M}$

where m is the given mass of gas and M is the molar mass of the gas

So equation (2) can be written as:

$PV = \frac{m}{M}RT$

⇒ $PM= \frac{m}{V} RT$

⇒ $\frac{PM}{RT}= \frac{m}{V}$ ......equation (3)

Now from equation (1) and (3), we get

$\frac{PM}{RT}= \frac{m}{V} = \rho$

⇒ Density of an ideal gas: $\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}$

⇒ Density of an ideal gas: ρ ∝ molar mass of gas: M

Therefore, the density of the ideal gas is directly proportional to its molar mass.

An object's mass is less on the Moon than it is on Earth.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The mass of objects remains constant throughout the universe. This is because an object is made of he same amount of matter (atoms), no matter where you take it in the universe. If you take an object from the Earth to the moon, only the weight will change.
