This describes the relationship between the pressure, volume and temperature of a gas. ### The ideal gas equation ![The ideal gas equation](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-08/10c34f1d-1668-49f7-b48b-36a4254c771a/particles-gas-.jpg) - The ideal gas equation is: - Pressure × volume = number of moles × gas constant × temperature - pV = nRT - This equation can be used to calculate any variable in the equation, as long as you know the other three variables. - p, V, n, and T are the variables. - R is a constant - its value is always 8.314. ### Importance of units ![Importance of units](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/1.1.1%20Measuring%20length,%20volume,%20etc.../paper-1849364_640-min.jpg) - When using the ideal gas law, it is important to make sure you are using only SI units: - Pressure must be in Pascals (Pa). - Volume must be in cubic metres (m3). - Temperature must be in Kelvin (K). - These units are the scientific standard - they are all related and allow for easily understood numbers. - Using different units will give you the wrong answer! ### An example ![An example](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/2.1.1%20-%20Matter/gas-reductor-2755544_640-min.jpg) - The pressure of 1 mole of a gas is 100 kPa (1x105 Pa) at a temperature of 298 K. What is its volume? - pV = nRT - V = nRT ÷ p - V = 1 × 8.314 × 298 K ÷ 105 Pa - V = 0.0248 m3 ## Test yourself on The Ideal Gas Equation - What is the ideal gas equation? - Which is true of the ideal gas equation? - Which of these is NOT a __variable__ in the ideal gas equation?
