- We define the specific ideal gas constant Rgas for a particular gas as the ratio of the universal gas constant and the molar mass (also called molecular weight) of the gas, Rgas = Ru/M. For a particular gas, then, the ideal gas law is written as follows: PV = mRgasT or P = ρRgasT where P is pressure, V is volume, m is mass, T is absolute temperature, and ? isthedensityoftheparticulargas.Whatare the primary dimensions of Rgas? For air, Rair = 287.0 J/kg·K in standard SI units. Verify that these units agree with your result.arrow_forwardThe 1st law of thermodynamics is ΔU = Q –W. Use this statement of the 1st law to show (mathematically) its equivalent statement: “Total energy of the universe is constant”. Here, the universe can be defined as: system + surroundings (everything but the system –everything outside the system). (Hint: this can be shown by two ways-you may either treat system and surroundings as two systems next to each other, or you may treat system + surroundings (universe) as one system.)arrow_forwardFor most gases at standard or near standard conditions, the relationshipamong pressure, density, and temperature is given by the perfect gasequation of state: p = ρRT, where R is the specific gas constant. For airat near standard conditions, R = 287 J/(kg · K) in the International System of Units and R = 1716 ft · lb/(slug · ◦R) in the English Engineering System of Units. Using the above information, consider the following two cases: a. At a given point on the wing of a Boeing 727, the pressure andtemperature of the air are 1.9 × 104 N/m2 and 203 K, respectively.Calculate the density at this point.b.
