  2. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    For a substance X with a specific volume of 0.657 cm 3 /g and a substance Y with a specific volume 0.374 cm 3 /g, the density of each substance can be found by taking the inverse of the specific volume; therefore, substance X has a density of 1.522 g/cm 3 and substance Y has a density of 2.673 g/cm 3. With this information, the specific ...

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    To find the force of buoyancy acting on the object when in air, using this particular information, this formula applies: Buoyancy force = weight of object in empty space − weight of object immersed in fluid. The final result would be measured in Newtons. Air's density is very small compared to most solids and liquids.

  4. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    The lifting force for a volume of gas is given by the equation: F B = (ρ air - ρ gas) × g × V. Where F B = Buoyant force (in newton); g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8066 m/s 2 = 9.8066 N/kg; V = volume (in m 3). The amount of mass that can be lifted by hydrogen in air per unit volume at sea level, equal to the density difference between ...

  5. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The ideal gas equation can be rearranged to give an expression for the molar volume of an ideal gas: = = Hence, for a given temperature and pressure, the molar volume is the same for all ideal gases and is based on the gas constant: R = 8.314 462 618 153 24 m 3 ⋅Pa⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1, or about 8.205 736 608 095 96 × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅atm⋅K ...

  6. Volume (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(thermodynamics)

    The partial volume of a particular gas is a fraction of the total volume occupied by the gas mixture, with unchanged pressure and temperature. In gas mixtures, e.g. air, the partial volume allows focusing on one particular gas component, e.g. oxygen.

  7. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    The density of air or atmospheric density, denoted ρ, [1] is the mass per unit volume of Earth's atmosphere. Air density, like air pressure, decreases with increasing altitude. It also changes with variations in atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity. At 101.325 kPa (abs) and 20 °C (68 °F), air has a density of approximately 1.204 kg ...

  8. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Using the number density of an ideal gas at 0 °C and 1 atm as a yardstick: n 0 = 1 amg = 2.686 7774 × 10 25 m −3 is often introduced as a unit of number density, for any substances at any conditions (not necessarily limited to an ideal gas at 0 °C and 1 atm). [3]

  9. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    = molar mass of Earth's air: 0.0289644 kg/mol The value of subscript b ranges from 0 to 6 in accordance with each of seven successive layers of the atmosphere shown in the table below. The reference value for ρ b for b = 0 is the defined sea level value, ρ 0 = 1.2250 kg/m 3 or 0.0023768908 slug/ft 3 .
