Ideal Gas Law<br />
<br />
The gas law which describes the relationship between P, V, n, R, and T in an equation where moles are<br />
present. P represents pressure, V represents volume, T represents temperature, n represents the number of<br />
moles given in the equation, and R is a number which eliminates all units of measurement in the equation<br />
and is measured in either atm, torr, or Pa, depending on what information is given. The equation is written<br />
as:<br />
P x V = nRT<br />
Example: A gas system has pressure,volume<br />
and moles of 1190torr, 2.29L and 0.193moles,<br />
respectively. What is the temperature in K?<br />
Step 1: Determine values to input into equation<br />
P = 1190torr | V = 2.29L | T = ? | n = 0.193moL |<br />
R = 62.364<br />
Step 2: Convert all units (if necessary) to L and K<br />
Step 3: Plug in values & simplify/Solve the<br />
equation<br />
1190torr x 2.29L = 0.193moL(62.364torr)( T )<br />
<br />
Note: R eliminates all units<br />
1190 x 2.29 = 0.193(62.364)( T )<br />
2,725.1 = 12.036252T<br />
226.407689 = T<br />
Answer: T = 226K<br />
Step 4: Apply units and significant figures<br />
