Pv=nRT [ENDORSED]

[Cecilia Jardon 1I]

I just wanted to make sure that the units for temperature in this equation is supposed to be in Kelvin?

[Aleeque Marselian 1A]

Yes, based on Dr. Lavelle's slides in lecture, the temperature in the ideal gas law is measured in Kelvin.

[Ashley Kenney 1E]

Yes, you're right, ideal gas law uses temperature in Kelvin

[abbydouglas1K]

Yes the temperature should be in Kelvin but you must make sure that the temperature stays the same throughout the reaction or the equilibrium constant will be correct.

[deniise_garciia]

if in any case it is given in Celsius you only have to add 273.15 to the given temp. and it'll give you the Kelvin temp.

[Jasmine Chow 1F]

yes it is in Kelvin. If you need to convert to K from C add 273.

[Henry Dudley 1G]

What is the value of R?

[Kevin Tang 4L]

What is the value of R?

The value of R is the gas constant, which I'm guessing will be a given value.

[Lauren Huang 1H]

Since there are multiple values of R, make sure the units of the R you are using cancel out/correspond with the other units in the equation.

[BenJohnson1H]

What exactly does each letter represent in PV=nRT? Specifically n, is that the amount of something in moles?

[davidryan3f]

What is the value of R?

R= 0.08206 L atm/mol K. This is given to us on tests I believe.

[Emily Kennedy 4L]

we only use this equation to convert from partial pressure to concentration and vice versa rt?

[Rhea Churi 4K]

we only use this equation to convert from partial pressure to concentration and vice versa rt?

Yes, you would use P/RT=Concentration
