Question

In order to use the Ideal Gas Constant of 0.0821, what units must be used for volume, pressure, amount, and temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value becomes 0.0821 L-atm/K⁻¹-mol⁻¹.

Explanation:

The value of gas constant is 0.0821.

We know that, the ideal gas law is as follows :

$PV=nRT\\\\R=\dfrac{PV}{nT}$

Where

P is pressure

V is volume

T is temperature

In order to use the Ideal Gas Constant of 0.0821, the units are follows :

Volume = Litre (L)

Pressure = atm

Amount = mol⁻¹

Temperature = K⁻¹

So, the value becomes 0.0821 L-atm/K⁻¹-mol⁻¹.
