The question is incomplete, complete question is;

Which statement is true about the temperature and density of air

A. less dense air has a higher temperature .

B. very dense air has a very high temperature .

C. you cannot determine anything about density from temperature .

D. the more air there is, the lower the temperature and density

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation used:


PM=dRT ( from ideal equation)

P = pressure of the gas

M = Molar mass of the gas

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature of the gas


(PM)/(TR)=d

As we can see from the equation, that density is inversely proportional to the temperature of the gas.


d\propto (1)/(T)

This mean that at lower temperature gas will be more denser and at higher temperature gas will be less denser.
