Ideal Gas Equation Lecture Notes

Flashcards covering the Ideal Gas Equation, unit conversions for pressure, and the various constant values for R as presented in the lecture notes.

Ideal Gas Equation

$$PV = nRT$$

P

Pressure

V

Volume

n

no. of moles

R

Universal gas constant

T

Temp (in kelvin)

760 forr

A pressure conversion value equivalent to $1\,atm$

760mm of g

A pressure conversion value equivalent to $1\,atm$

1.013 bar

A pressure conversion value equivalent to $1\,atm$

1.013 \times 10^5 Pascol

A pressure conversion value equivalent to $1\,atm$, also expressed as $Nm^{-2}$

R (in J mol k)

$8.314\,J\,mol\,k$ (used when $P$ is in $Pascal$ or $Nm^{-2}$ and $V = m^3$)

R (in L-atm)

$0.0821\,L\text{-}atm\,mol^{-1}\,k^{-1}$ (used when $P = atm/bar$ and $v = l$)

R (in cal)

$$2\,cal\,mol^{-1}\,k^{-1}$$
