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

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago
6 0

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>

Kepler and Newton studied the movement of planets. Kepler studied the speed of the planets while Newton studied the forces that
nasty-shy [4]
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. 

On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.

What should scentist use after completing a scientific investigation
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

An Educated Guess

Explanation:

After the scientist is done with the experiment he should do an educated guess, they use the data from the experiments to make charts and graphs to communicate the results of the experiment.  After the scientists makes the hypothesis, they perform this procedure.
