What?Bystander said:"Pa" = ?
The formula for calculating exerted pressure is P = nRT/V, where P is pressure, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and V is the volume.
In the gas law lab, pressure is typically measured in units of atmospheres (atm). To convert from other units such as mmHg or kPa, use the following conversions: 1 atm = 760 mmHg and 1 atm = 101.3 kPa.
The units for temperature in the gas law lab are typically measured in Kelvin (K). To convert from Celsius (°C) to Kelvin, simply add 273 to the Celsius value.
According to Boyle's Law, as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases and vice versa. This is because there is less space for the gas molecules to spread out, causing more frequent collisions with the walls of the container and thus a higher pressure.
Yes, the gas law lab can be used to calculate pressure for any gas as long as the other variables (number of moles, temperature, and volume) are known. This is because the gas law equations are based on the behavior of ideal gases, which are assumed to follow certain rules regardless of the specific gas being studied.
