Question

How to calculate density of gas at different temperatures and pressures?

Answer 1

Density is mass per unit volume. Finding the density of a gas is the same as finding thedensity of a solid or liquid. You have to know the mass and the volume of the gas. The tricky part with gases is that you are often given pressures and temperatures with no mention of volume. You have to figure it out from the other information.

This example problem will show how to calculate density of a gas when given the type of gas, the pressure, and the temperature.
