The correct Answer is:
To derive the correct expression for the density of an ideal gas mixture of two gases, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Ideal Gas Law The ideal gas law is given by the equation: \[ PV = nRT \] where: - \( P \) = pressure of the gas - \( V \) = volume of the gas - \( n \) = number of moles of the gas - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin ### Step 2: Define Density Density (\( d \)) is defined as mass per unit volume: \[ d = \frac{m}{V} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the gas and \( V \) is the volume. ### Step 3: Relate Mass to Moles The mass of the gas can be expressed in terms of its number of moles and molar mass: \[ m = nM \] where \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. ### Step 4: Substitute Mass in Density Equation Substituting the expression for mass into the density equation gives: \[ d = \frac{nM}{V} \] ### Step 5: Substitute Volume from Ideal Gas Law From the ideal gas law, we can express volume \( V \) as: \[ V = \frac{nRT}{P} \] Now, substituting this expression for volume into the density equation: \[ d = \frac{nM}{\frac{nRT}{P}} \] This simplifies to: \[ d = \frac{PM}{RT} \] ### Step 6: Consider the Mixture of Two Gases For a mixture of two gases (gas 1 and gas 2), the total mass and total number of moles can be expressed as: - Total mass \( m = m_1 + m_2 \) - Total number of moles \( n = n_1 + n_2 \) The molar mass of the mixture can be expressed as: \[ M_{mix} = \frac{m_1 + m_2}{n_1 + n_2} \] ### Step 7: Final Expression for Density of the Mixture Substituting the expressions for total mass and total number of moles into the density equation gives: \[ d_{mix} = \frac{P \cdot M_{mix}}{RT} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the correct expression for the density of an ideal gas mixture of two gases is: \[ d_{mix} = \frac{P \cdot (m_1 + m_2)}{R \cdot (n_1 + n_2) \cdot T} \]
