The density of air varies with pressure (the Ideal Gas Law) and the
altitude above sea level. Mean absolute pressure at sea level is
approximately 760 mmHg (101.325 kPa, kN/m2) with a variation is
about +/- 5%.
The air barometer pressure varies with altitude as shown in the table
below:

Air Composition
From the table above - the density of air is 0.946 kg/m3 at 100 oC. The
mass of 10 m3 air can then be calculated as
m=V
= 9.46 kg
where
m = mass (kg)
V = volume (m3)
= density (kg/m3)
