An ideal gas at absolute temperature t is in a uniform gravitational field with acceleration due to gravity g in the negative z-direction. (a) by considering the gravitational potential energy of a molecule, derive an expression for the density of molecules n(z) as a function of height z. (b) how does your expression for n(z) compare with that obtained by writing the condition of hydrostatic equilibrium for a slice of the gas located between heights z and z + dz?
