Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
For an ideal gas, the equation of state is given by:
Step 1: Understand that PV = nRT is the equation for an ideal gas.
Step 2: Identify what each letter in the equation stands for: P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.
Step 3: Remember that this equation shows the relationship between these variables for an ideal gas.
Ideal Gas Law – The relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas, expressed as PV = nRT.
Variables in the Ideal Gas Law – Understanding the roles of pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles (n) in the equation.
Gas Constant (R) – The constant that relates the units of pressure, volume, and temperature in the ideal gas equation.
