How does the calculation of density differ between gases and liquids/solids?
How does the calculation of density differ between gases and liquids/solids?
- Gases use a direct mass to volume ratio, whereas liquids/solids require temperature and pressure adjustments.
- Liquids/solids use a constant volume, whereas gases require complex volume calculations.
- Gases require consideration of pressure and temperature due to volume variability, while liquids/solids typically do not. (correct)
- The density of gases is calculated using only mass, while liquids/solids use mass and weight.
What is the formula for density?
What is the formula for density?
- $Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$ (correct)
- $Density = \frac{Volume}{Mass}$
- $Density = Mass \times Volume$
- $Density = Mass + Volume$

Study Notes
- Density and Specific Gravity determined in 2021
Density of Liquids & Solids
- Density refers to the mass per unit volume
- Density (D) is calculated as mass divided by volume, expressed in grams per milliliter(mL)
- Mass measures the amount of matter a substance contains, and it remains constant
- Weight measures the gravitational pull between Earth and matter, and it varies
Specific Gravity of Liquids & Solids
- Specific gravity is the ratio of a liquid or solid's density compared to the density of water
- Specific gravity is the ratio of 2 densities
- The standard for specific gravity is always water (H2O), which has a density of 1 g/mL
Example: Specific Gravity of Mercury (Hg)
- The specific gravity of mercury (Hg) is calculated using its density (13.6 g/mL) and water's density (1 g/mL)
- Specific gravity = 13.6 g/mL / 1 g/mL
Density of Gases
- Computing gas density differs gases vary according to pressure and temperature
- Gas density is calculated as the gram-molecular weight divided by 22.4 L
- 22.4 L volume is occupied by 1 mole of any gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure(STP)
Density of a gas mixture
- For gas mixtures, density is calculated using the values of the gases in the mixture
- Formula considers gram molecular weight and percentage (%) of each gas
Specific Gravity of Gas
- Specific gravity of a gas compares its density to the density of a standard
- The standard comparison for gas is Air, where AIR = 1.29 g/L
- For example, 100% O2 has a specific gravity of 1.11 and is 11% heavier than air
Heliox
- The density of 80/20 Heliox is 0.43 g/L
- Specific gravity= 0.33; Heliox only weighs 33% of AIR
- Air is 3x heavier than 80/20 Heliox
