The correct Answer is:
To determine the unit of vapor density, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Vapor Density Vapor density is defined as the mass of a certain volume of gas compared to the mass of an equal volume of hydrogen at the same temperature and pressure. ### Step 2: Formula for Vapor Density The formula for vapor density (VD) can be expressed as: \[ VD = \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{2} \] where molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. ### Step 3: Analyze the Units - The molar mass is typically measured in grams per mole (g/mol). - When calculating vapor density using the formula, we divide the molar mass by 2. ### Step 4: Determine the Resulting Units Since vapor density is derived from the molar mass divided by a constant (2), the units of vapor density can be analyzed as follows: \[ \text{Vapor Density} = \frac{\text{g/mol}}{2} \] However, since 2 is a dimensionless number (a pure number), the units effectively cancel out. ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, vapor density is considered to be unitless or dimensionless. ### Final Answer: The unit of vapor density is unitless. ---
