The ideal gas law equation can be manipulated to show the relationship between the density of a gas and the molecular weight of the gas. The equation is d = MP/RT, d is the density of the gas in g/L, M is the molar mass of the gas in g/mol, P is pressure of the gas in ATM and R is the gas law constant. The equation shows that as the density of gas increases as the molar mass increases. This videos contains a sample calculation using this equation.
