Explanation

The formula for calculating the density of an ideal gas is d = PM/RT, where: 

• d: is the density of the gas
• P: is the pressure of the gas
• M: is the molar mass of the gas
• R: is the ideal gas constant
• T: is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin

The ideal gas law is expressed as PV = nRT, where 'n' is the number of moles.

Density (d) is mass (m) divided by volume (V), so d = m/V.

We can relate the number of moles (n) to mass (m) and molar mass (M) using n = m/M.

Substituting this into the ideal gas law, we get PV = (m/M)RT.

Rearranging the equation to solve for density (d = m/V), we get d = PM/RT.
