Density of an ideal gases is a function of pressure, molecular weight of the pure gas or mixture and the temperature of the gas.
Ideal gas equation is,
PV = nRT
where,
P = Pressure (bar, atmosphere, Pa)
V = Gaseous volume (m3, cm3)
n = number of gaseous moles (dimensionless)
R = Universal gas constant (J/mol.K, lit.atm/mol.K)
T = Temperature of the gas (K)
Let
M = molecular weight of the gaseous phase
W = n X M = mass of the gaseous phase
To get the gas density formula,
PV = (W/M) RT
PM / RT = W/V
W/V = ρ = mass per unit volume, i.e. density (kg/m3, gm/cm3)
ρ = PM / RT .................. formula for ideal gas density
For a real gas with compressibility factor z,
ρ = PM / zRT ..... formula for real gas density calculation
