Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. For gases we use the ideal gas equation to solve for density. We do as follows: PV = nRT PV = mRT / MM Density = m/V = PMM / RT From the given conditions of the nitrogen gas, we substitute the given values as follows: Density = PMM / RT Density = 1.5 atm (28.02 g / mol) / (0.08205 L-atm / mol-K) (290 K) Density = 1.77 g/L Therefore, the density of the gas is 1.77 g per liter.
