1
Q
What is pressure?
A
Pressure is defined as the normal force per unit area
2
Q
What is the formula for pressure?
A
Pressure = Force / Area
3
Q
What is P?
A
P = pressure (pascal)
4
Q
What is V?
A
V = volume (m^3)
5
Q
What is n?
A
N = moles of gas
6
Q
What is R?
A
R = ideal gas law constant (a proportionality constants)
R = 8.31 (J/mol/K)
7
Q
What is T?
A
T = temperature (kelvin)
8
Q
What is a mole?
A
Unit of quantity. Used to measure the number of atoms or molecules.
A mole of any material has 6.022 * 10^23 atoms or molecules also called the avogrado constant
