Calculate the density of a gas in kg/m3 based on local pressure and temperature.
Parameters:
- local_pressure: The local pressure in hPa/mbar.
- local_temperature: The local temperature in degrees Celsius.
- gas: The chemical formula of the gas.
Returns:
- The density of the gas in kg/m3.
Assumes ideal gas behavior.
