Solution


In an ideal gas, the equation of state is given byPV=nRTPV=nNARNATPV=nNAkT1nNA=kTPVMultiplying both sides by mass of the gas M, we getMnNA=MkTPVNow, nNA gives the total number of molecules of the gas.Also, MnNA gives the mass of a single molecule.Hence,MkTPV is the mass of a single molecule of the gas, Molecular mass is a property of the gas.

Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
