Amagat

An amagat is a practical unit of number density. Although it can be applied to any substance at any conditions, it is defined as the number of ideal gas molecules per unit volume at 1 atm (= 101.325 kPa) and 0 °C (= 273.15 K).[1] It is named after Émile Amagat, who also has Amagat's law named after him. The abbreviated form of amagat is "amg". The abbreviation "Am" has also been used.[2]

SI Conversion

The amg unit for number density can be converted to the SI unit mol/m³ by the formula:

1\,\mathrm {amg} =44.615\,\mathrm {mol{\cdot }m^{-3}} .

The conversion factor (44.615...) is called "Loschmidt number".

The number density of an ideal gas at pressure p and temperature T can be calculated as[3]

\eta =\left({\frac {p}{p_{0}}}\right)\left({\frac {T_{0}}{T}}\right)\,{\rm {amg}}

,

where T₀ = 273.15 K and p₀ = 101.325 kPa.

Example

Number density of an ideal gas (such as air) at room temperature (20 °C) and 1 atm (101.325 kPa) is

\eta =\left({\frac {1\,{\rm {atm}}}{p_{0}}}\right)\left({\frac {273.15\,{\rm {K}}}{(273.15+20)\,{\rm {K}}}}\right){\rm {amg}}=0.932\,{\rm {amg}}

.

gollark: Everyone knows that bad things are permitted to exist for a maximum of a year.

gollark: Also also, computer systems are fairly close to human performance on some tasks (I think image recognition and processing, and nowadays some text generation), and do much better on some others (chess, go, etc.).

gollark: Also, human brains are basically just special... biological things, with a bunch more processing power (in some ways) than current computers.

gollark: You said it "is not", but computers actually *do* exist as far as I can tell, though.

gollark: Prove it. Also define "thinks".
