Gas Formula Molecular weight - ρ

The document provides a table listing the densities, molecular weights, and chemical formulas of various common gases. The table includes gases such as air, ammonia, argon, benzene, butane, carbon dioxide, ethane, helium, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, oxygen, propane, sulfur dioxide, toluene, and water vapor. For each gas, the table provides its chemical formula, molecular weight, and density measured in kg/m3 and lb/ft3 at both normal and standard temperature and pressure. Conversion factors between kg/m3 and lb/ft3 are also listed at the bottom.
