SUMMARY
The individual densities of deuterium (D2) and tritium (T2) gases can be calculated using the ideal gas law, which relates density (D), molar mass (M), pressure (P), and temperature (T). For isotopically pure deuterium, the molar mass is 4 g/mol, while for tritium, it is 6 g/mol. The density of these gases is determined under specific conditions of pressure and temperature, and the molar mass of a mixture can be derived from the partial pressures of each gas.
