Nitrogen Density Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the density of nitrogen gas at standard temperature (25°C/298.15K) based on pressure.
Purpose: It helps scientists, engineers, and students determine nitrogen gas density for various applications in chemistry, physics, and engineering.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula is derived from the ideal gas law, calculating how nitrogen density changes with pressure at constant temperature.
Details: Accurate nitrogen density values are crucial for gas storage, industrial processes, laboratory experiments, and various engineering applications.
Tips: Enter the pressure in Pascals (default is standard atmospheric pressure 101325 Pa). The value must be > 0.
Q1: What's the typical density of nitrogen at 1 atm?
A: At standard conditions (101325 Pa, 25°C), nitrogen density is approximately 1.165 kg/m³.
Q2: Does this work for other temperatures?
A: No, this calculator is specifically for 25°C. Density changes with temperature according to the ideal gas law.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's accurate for ideal gas behavior. For high pressures, real gas corrections might be needed.
Q4: Why 0.028 kg/mol for nitrogen?
A: This is the molar mass of N₂ gas (28 g/mol converted to kg/mol).
Q5: What units should I use for pressure?
A: The calculator requires Pascals (Pa). 1 atm = 101325 Pa, 1 bar = 100000 Pa.
