A given sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume, VV at a pressure, PP and absolute temperature,~TT. The mass of each molecule of the gas is m\text{m}. Which of the following gives the density of the gas?

Options

  1. A\dfrac{P}{\left(kT\right)}
  2. B\dfrac{Pm}{\left(kT\right)}
  3. C\dfrac{P}{\left(kTV\right)}
  4. DmkTmkT

Correct answer

B. \dfrac{Pm}{\left(kT\right)}

Step-by-step solution

PV=nRT⇒PV=(mM)RTPV = nRT ⇒ PV = \left(\dfrac{m}{M}\right)RT

P=(RM)mVT⇒Pρ=(RmNA)TP = \left(\dfrac{R}{M}\right)\dfrac{m}{V}T ⇒ \dfrac{P}{ρ} = \left(\dfrac{R}{m{N}_{A}}\right)T

⇒Pρ=kTm⇒ \dfrac{P}{ρ} = \dfrac{kT}{m}

ρ=PmkTρ = \dfrac{Pm}{kT}.
