Temperature

[Veronica Macias 3K]

If the temperature is not given in a problem do we assume it is at room temperature and use that for T?

[Luveia Pangilinan 1A]

I believe so yes 25 degrees :D

[Sam Wentzel 1F 14B]

If not indicated you can usually assume the system is under standard conditions (25* C).

[Queena Chu 3E]

Yes! It would be in standard aka 25° :)

[Fiona Huang 3C]

Yes, we could assume that temperature would be at standard state, which is 25 degrees C, or 298 K.

[Arnav Saud 2C]

Yes, if they don't give us temperature, assume that it is at 25 degrees celsius.

[Joanna Huang]

Yeo, we assume the reaction is at standard temperature and pressure.

[Susan Chamling 1F]

Yes, I believe that if it isn't specified, we assume it's standard temperature and pressure.

[Aydin Karatas 1F]

If the temperature isn't given, I believe we just assume it's at the standard 25^oC.

[Teti Omilana 1G]

Yes, we assume it's at 25 degrees celcius.

[Jack_Pearce_2H]

Usually, yes, if not try to use the ideal gas equation to solve for it!

[FrancescaHawkins2H]

Yes, I believe we are meant to assume that the temperature is 25 degrees C if it is not explicitly stated in the problem.

[Marc Lubman 3B]

Also consider that if the temperature is not given, it's possible that the problem doesn't actually require PV=nRT and that you should try a different approach.

[kentbui1d]

I'm pretty sure we are supposed to assume that it is standard and is at 25 degrees C.

[MariaCassol1L]

Yes, when the temperature is not given we assume it is at 25 celsius. Just keep in mind that the problem you are solving might require temperature in Kelvin so you might need to convert it.

[Ashley Wagner 2A]

Yes,i think we just assume the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

[Izamary Marquez 2H]

Yep! I believe Lavelle mentioned that if it doesn't state it, we can assume it's at 25 degrees C.

[Katelynn Shaheen 2C]

Yes, we assume it is 25 degrees.

[aashmi_agrawal_3d]

Yes, I think you would assume that it is 25 degrees Celsius.

[Jarrett Sung 3B]

Yup, you should assume the temperature is at standard conditions of 25 degrees C, or 298 K.

[Gwirnowski 3B]

Yes assume standard conditions of 25º celsius or 298º kelvin.

[Teti Omilana 1G]

Yes, you would assume 25 degrees celsius.

[Kiara Phillips 3L]

Yes 298K :)

Yes! i believe that we just assume the reaction is at 25 C

[Jaclyn Schwartz 1I]

Yes! You assume its 25C or 298K.

[Diana Aguilar 3H]

Yes, I believe you would assume it's at standard conditions, 25 C or 298 K :)

[Megan ODonnell 3F]

Yes, I believe that you can assume it's 25ºC or 298K.

[Queena Chu 3E]

Yes, you can assume standard temperature. It could be 25 degrees Celsius or Kelvin (K).

[Izamary Marquez 2H]

Yep! You can assume its 25degrees C or 298.15 K !

[Isabel_Eslabon_2G]

If it isn't given in a problem, you usually assume it's 298 K (or 25°C). I used to wonder this too but that is how it is in a lot of the Sapling textbook questions. If there is any ambiguity during an exam and you just want to be safe, I'm sure your TA will clarify it anyway.

[Kushaal Madadi 2F]

Yes, you assume 25 C or 298.15 K (standard conditions).

[Bai Rong Lin 2K]

Yes, it is basically 298K or 25C

[Mariah Disc 2C]

Yes it would just be 25 degrees.

[Joanna Huang]

Yep! Usually the question will say "standard room temperature" if they do not specify a temperature, meaning that it is at 25˚C or 298K.

[Aria Movassaghi 1A]

if this is the case, then yes, you should just assume 25 C or 298K

[Sam Wentzel 1F 14B]

Assume 25* C

[Sydney Sullivan 2J]

yes, you should assume standard conditions. which for temperature means 25 degrees celcius/298 K

[Katie Phan 1K]

Yes, assume it's at 25 C or 298K

[alebenavides]

the measurement we need is 25 C

[Sukhkiran Kaur 3I]

Yup! It would be standard (25 degrees C)

[David Y]

Yes standard is 25 degrees Celsius, which is 298 degrees Kelvin.

[Muskaan Abdul-Sattar]

Yup! It would be 25 degrees C in that case.

[Levon Grigoryan]

Yes if not given assume room temperature at 25*C, and I think Professor Lavelle mentions that every lecture when temp is not specified.

Hope this helps.

[LovepreetSran_3H]

Yes, if not given you should assume 25 degrees celsius

[Naomi Hernandez-Ramirez 1J]

You should assume it's 25ºC or 298K just make sure to look at what the problem is asking

[Jane Wang 1E]

If the temperature is not given in a problem do we assume it is at room temperature and use that for T?

I think we can assume it is at room temperature~

[Michael 1G]

If the temperature is not given in a problem, typically just assume 25 degrees Celsius or 298.15 degrees Kelvin.

[Daniel Tabibian 3K]

If temp is not given. you should assume it is 25 degrees celsius.

[Allison Peng 1D]

I'm fairly certain we just assume 25 degrees Celsius, but I also think that if given a K constant, that is the one you would use in solving the problem, since we haven't learned the arrhenius equation.

[Jordyn Lee 1J]

Hello, I believe that if temperature is not given you would assume it is 25 degrees C/298 K.

[Matthew Li 1B]

298k

[Maggie Clark]

Assume 25 degrees Celsius

[William Huang 1K]

If temperature isn't given I believe you can assume it's 25 C standard conditions.

[Hannah Carsey 1B]

If temperature is not given in a problem, assume the standard condition for temperature, which is 25°C. Make sure to keep in mind which temperature unit is required to solve the problem as you may have to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.

[Alex Luong 3H]

Yep! It would be 25 C or 298.15 K.

[Srikar_Chintala_1E]

Yes, you can assume it is in standard conditions which is 25 Celsius, or 298 K.

[Tony Chen 1F]

25 degrees Celsius/295 K

[Aaron Kwan 3B]

Yes, standard temperature and pressure is 25 C, and 1 bar!

[Emily Wu 2G]

if not mentioned in question, its always 25c or 298 k!

[Emily Wu 2G]

if not mentioned in question, its always 25c or 298 k!

[Prithvi Raj 3E]

If the temperature is not given in a problem, you assume that it's 298K.

[Eric Sun 2G]

If not indicated, we can probably assume that it is occurring at standard conditions at 25 degrees Celsius or 298 degrees K

[Shreya Arcot 3K]

If temperature is not mentioned, it is assumed to be 25 degrees Celsius.

[Jessica Li 1G]

Yes, you can just use 25 degrees Celsius if not mentioned in the problem.

[cnyland]

Yes! I think the correct assumption, if T is not stated, is 25 C, which is room temperature!

[Veronica Larson- 1I]

Yes, I think we can assume it is at standard temperature if it's not given, which is 25 degrees celsius or 298K.

[Nyah Zhang 1E]

Yes, if the temperature is not given in the question, I think we can assume that it is at standard conditions, which would be at 25 degrees celsius (room temperature).

[Amanda Pineda 3H]

Yes if temperature is not specified in a given problem, then always assume that the reaction is taking plac eunder standard condtions hence the temperature would be 25 C.

[Mahli Martinez 2I]

I do believe that in this case, we would assume a temperature of 25 degrees celsius, or 298 K, depending on which SI units are asked for.

[Phoebe Ko 3E]

If the problem doesn't specify the temperature value, you would assume the reaction is in standard condition where the temperature is 25 degrees C or 298K.

[605823283]

Assume it is 298 Kelvins (25 Celsius) which is STP or standard temperature and pressure

[605823283]

Assume it is 298 Kelvins (25 Celsius) which is STP or standard temperature and pressure

[Nandini_Parmar_1I]

Yes if it isn't given, use room temperature which is at 25 degrees Celcius/Kelvin.

[ajguerrero]

Im pretty sure if temperature is not given to us we would use 25 degrees celsius or 288 kelvins based on the equation.
Hope this helps.

[Veronica Larson- 1I]

Yes, I think we would assume standard temperature of 25 C or 298K

[Benicio Rivera 1F]

If not stated you used room temp the standard 25 C.

[Hannah Thornton 1F]

Yes, if temperature is not given, we can assume it is under standard conditions of 25 degrees C.

[Emily Wu 2G]

yes, 298k or 25c

[Benjamin Nguyen 1J]

Yes, I think you would use standard room temperature, 25 C

[Dillon Taing 3H]

Yes, unless the problem specifies the temperature in the problem, the rule of thumb would be to assume standard conditions. As such temperature would be taken to be 25 degrees Celsius.

[Julie Mai 1K]

Yes, you can assume that it would be the standard temperature of 25 degrees C.

[Madeline Ellmore 2C]

Yes! You can assume it is 20 degrees celcius/298.15 K.

[Julia Zahra]

if its not specified assume standard conditions, so 25C

[405532435]

You should always assume it is 25C if it is not stated otherwise.

[Lindsey Walter 3E]

Yes! Typically assume that the standard temperature is 25*C.

[riddhiparikh]

Yes. If the temperature is not explicitly stated, it is fair to assume that it is 25 degrees C or 298 K.

[Aneesha_Nema_3C]

Yeah you would assume that it's at standard temperature (25 degrees Celsius or 298.15 K)

[Rebecca Preusch 2C]

yes you can assume standard temp/ room temp if no other temperature is given.

[Lawrence Javelo Disc 3B]

If temperature is not given in a problem then you can likely assume standard conditions unless otherwise stated.

Standard conditions would be 25 degrees C or 298 K.

[PatrickV]

Usually it would be stated, or it would be assumed to be under standard condition of 25°C

[Likhitha Yettela 1F]

There is usually some sort of indication of temperature. If it is not explicitly stated then the problem might not need temperature OR it says that the problem says that it is looking for an answer in standard conditions in some sort of variation.

[505784197]

Under standard conditions, it is 25 degrees!

[Nishan Reddy 3K]

Yes in most cases, we assume the temperature is 25˚C or 298 K unless told otherwise.

[Iman Gauhar 3E]

Hi! If a temperature is not included, then I believe we should assume standard conditions (25 degrees Celsius of 298 K).

[Isha Tripathi 2F]

We would assume temp to be 25 C or 298 K.

[Vashe Sundar 3H]

Yes, normally it's assumed that the reaction occurs in standard conditions (298K = 0C).

[Hudson2J]

Yes, if it doesn't specify we can assume that the reaction is carried out under standard conditions (25 degrees C or 298 K).

[Miranda Hess 3I]

For the purposes of this class, yes, you would assume 25 deg C. Temperature should be given for problems that need you to know temperature but if the information is omitted then it's probably not a special case.

[Ameen Shaheen 2I]

If not indicated, we should assume standard conditions at 1 atm and 25 degrees Celsius

[Jacquelyn Rivera 2I]

If not given a specific temperature, the default is standard which is 25 degrees C
