density

how can you use density in PV=nRT?

[VioletKo3F]

Since density is mass over volume, you can substitute the mass in n and the volume in v in the equation pv = nrt. Once this is done, the equation can be rewritten as molar mass = dRT/P.

The density can be used toward PV=nRT when there are problems that doesn't give you the moles of the molecule. For example, a problem might give you the amount in mL, and so we'd convert it to moles via density (at least that's what I've been told through the sessions). Hope that helps!

Density is mass/volume (g/cm^3) and can be substituted into the ideal gas equation using algebra.

[Aarushi Solanki 4F]

Density is given in g/mL. Sometimes, the problem gives the amount of a substance in mL, and you can convert this value to grams and then moles to find the 'n' in PV=nRT.

You can use density to find "n" or even replace "n" in PV=nRT since density is mass/volume
