For an ideal gas the density of the gas is $\rho_0$ when temperature and pressure of the gas are $T_0$ and $\mathrm{P}_0$ respectively. When the temperature of the gas is $2 \mathrm{~T}_0$, its pressure will be $3 \mathrm{P}_0$. The new density will be
  1. $\frac{3}{2} \rho_0$
  2. $\frac{4}{3} \rho_0$
  3. $\frac{3}{4} \rho_0$
  4. $\frac{2}{3} \rho_0$

Solution

Density $\propto \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{T}$ So, $\frac{\mathrm{d}_2}{\mathrm{~d}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_2} \times \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{t}}}$ $\therefore \quad$ The new density is: $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{d}_2=\rho_0 \times \frac{3 \mathrm{P}_0}{2 \mathrm{~T}_0} \times \frac{\mathrm{T}_0}{\mathrm{P}_0} \\ & \mathrm{~d}_2=\frac{3}{2} \rho_0 \end{aligned}$
