How to determine if heavier than air:
-
The density of a gas is roughly proportional to its
molecular weight. Air has an average molecular weight
of about 29 gl/mol, so any gas with a molecular
weight greater than 29 gl/mol will be denser than air.
The way to calculate the molecular weight of any
formula is to add the atomic weight of all the atoms
in the formula.
-
For example: Hydrogen Chloride, HCI. A hydrogen
atom has a mass of 1.008 AMU and a chlorine atom
has a mass of 35,453 AMU. The molecular weight of
HCI is 36.461 gl/mol, the sum of the atomic weight of
hydrogen and chlorine.
