Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of gas laws, what does the term 'R' represent in the ideal gas equation PV = nRT?
  • Step 1: Understand the ideal gas equation, which is PV = nRT.
  • Step 2: Identify each symbol in the equation: P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, T is temperature.
  • Step 3: Recognize that R is a constant that helps relate these variables together.
  • Step 4: Know that R is called the universal gas constant.
  • Step 5: Remember that R has a specific value (approximately 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol)) when using certain units.
