Ideal Gas Law combination Flashcards
What do we get by combining the laws: Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law and Avogadro’s Law? What is the formula?
We get the combined ideal gas law, which is:
PV = nRT
Where:
P - Pressure
V - Volume
T - Temperature in Kelvin
n is the moles of gas
R is a gas constant, which depends on the units of pressure and volumes
What is the standard unit of measurement for volume?
Cubic meters
What is the standard unit of measurement for pressure?
Pascals or Kilopascals
What is the standard unit of measurement for Temperature?
Kelvin
What other units indicate Volume?
Litres
What other units indicate Temperature?
Celsius
What other units indicate Pressure?
Millimeters (mm)
How do you convert Celsius into Kelvin?
If given any value in Celsius, add it by 273 in order to get the value for Kelvin
When using the ideal gas law formula, make sure to always use convert Celsius into KELVINS
Fax
If the given celsius or Kelvin temperature is under SLC conditions (which is 24.79 Celsius or 297.79 Kelvin, then R will be 8.314)
