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

Chemistry

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}  

⇒ <em>Density of an ideal gas: ρ ∝ molar mass of gas: M</em>

<u>Therefore, the density of the ideal gas is directly proportional to its molar mass. </u>

Which of the following best defines molar mass?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

D. the mass of one mole of a substance

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.

  • For an element, the molar mass is the relative atoms mass expressed in grams.
  • For example 23g of Na, 40g of oxygen
  • For compounds, molar mass is the gram -formula or gram - molecular weight.
  • This is determined by the addition of its component atomic masses and then expressed in grams.

A gas occupies 2.0 m3 at 100.0k and exerts a pressure of 100.0kPa. What volume will the gas occupy if the temperature is increas
Svetradugi [14.3K]
According to ideal gas equation, we know for 1 mole of gas: PV=RT
where P = pressure,  T = temperature, R = gas constant, V= volume
If '1' and '2' indicates initial and final experimental conditions, we have
\frac{P1V1}{P2V2} =  \frac{T1}{T2}

Given that: V1 = 100.0 kPa, T1 = 100.0 K, V1 = 2.0 m3, T2 = 400 K, P2 = 200.0 kPa

∴ on rearranging above eq., we get V2 = \frac{P1V1T2}{T1} =  \frac{100 X 2 X 400}{200X100}
∴ V2 = 4 m3

For which applications would you choose a liquid over a gas or solid?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Washing Clothes & Dissolving Sugar

Explanation:

Think about each application:

1) Washing clothes: You kind of need water to do this, or not much washing can be done.

2) Linking brake pedals to the brake pads: You don't need any liquids for this. You need solids.

3) Deodorizing a room: You would problem choose an aerosol, which is sprayed, thus a gas.

4) Carving a sculpture: You would use solid tool and a sold sculpture.

5) Dissolving sugar: You need a liquid to dissolve sugar!

6) Painting a wall: Perhaps, you COULD say that the paint is a liquid... but I'm not sure if that really counts. I believe this application would still be solids.

7) A gear for a machine is a solid!
