Question : 3
Total: 23
Using the equation of state PV = nRT; show that at a given temperature density of a gas is proportional to gas pressure P.
Solution:  
According to ideal gas equation for ‘n’ moles of a gas, PV = nRT
But , n =
Massofthegas(m)
Molarmass(M)
or P =
nRT
V

or P =
mRT
MV
[m/V = d density of the gas)]
∴ P =
dRT
M
or d =
MP
RT
or P α d
