Question
Calculate density in the following cases :
(a) Air (ideal gas) at temperature 0°C and pressure 2 atm
(b) Helium (ideal gas) that fills a 10-m³ volume at temperature 25°C, whose
gauge pressure reads 1.5 atm
(c) Granular iron of spherical grains of average diameter D = 1mm packed in a
1-grain/mm3 arrangement (density of iron p = 9g/cm³). Assume that the
void in each mm3 is filled with air. Discuss why the result is expected. Make
the same computation if the average diameter of the spherical grains are D
= 0.25 mm packed in a 64-grain/mm3 . Discuss why the result for the
density of both arrangements is the same.
