What is the formula for calculating the PV value?

How do you find the PV of a gas system?

  • PV = nRT. V = n * (RT/P) V = constant * n. V n (Avogadro's law) A very common situation is that P, V and T are changing for a fixed quantity of gas . PV = nRT. (PV)/T = nR = constant. Under this situation, (PV/T) is a constant, thus we can compare the system before and after the changes in P, V and/or T: . Example: .

How do you find the unknown variable in the equation PV nRT?

  • The Ideal Gas Law Calculator finds the unknown variable in the equation PV = nRT when three of the variables are known. The ideal gas law formula states that pressure multiplied by volume is equal to moles times the universal gas constant times temperature.

What are the units of energy for the gas constant PV?

  • PVcan have the units of energy: Therefore, Rcan include energy units such as Joulesor calories Values for the gas constant R Units Value L atm/mol K 0.08206 cal/mol K 1.987 J/mol K 8.314 m3Pa/mol K 8.314 L torr/mol K 62.36 Example: If we had 1.0 mol of gas at 1.0 atm of pressure at 0°C (273.15 K), what would be the volume? PV = nRT V = nRT/P
