Learning Goal: To understand the ideal gas law and be able to apply it to a wide variety of situations. The absolute temperature T, volume V, and pressure p of a gas sample are related by the ideal gas law, which states that pV nRT. Here is the number of moles in the gas sample and R is a gas constant that applies to all gases. This empirical law describes gases well only if they are sufficiently dilute and at a sufficiently high temperature that they are not on the verge of condensing. In applying the ideal gas law, p must be the absolute pressure, measured with respect to vacuum and not with respect to atmospheric pressure, and T must be the absolute temperature, measured in kelvins (that is, with respect to absolute zero, defined throughout this tutorial as -273°C). If p is in pascals and Vis in cubic meters, use R 8.3145 J/(mol-K). If p is in atmospheres and V is in liters, use R = 0.08206 L-atm/(mol-K) instead.

Hi, could I get some help with this macro-connection physics problem involving moles and the Ideal Gas Law? The set up is: How many moles are there in a cubic meter of an ideal gas at 100 degree celsius (C) to 4 digits of precision with a pressure of 0.25 atm, assuming 1 atm = 101325 N/m2 with kB = 1.38e-23 J/K and NA = 6.022e23? Thank you.
Suppose you have 0.53 moles of an ideal gas. What is the average kinetic energy of that gas (in units of kJ) if the temperature of the gas is 280.2K? Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is some number of kilo-Joules, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit ("kJ" in this case), you answer will be counted wrong.
Help please

A gas originally occupies a volume of 0.5m^3 at a pressure of kPa. It is slowly allowed to expand until the volume is 2.5m^3. Assuming the temperature is kept constant, calculate the final pressure of the gas.
The gas constant R has the value 287 J/Kg * K for dry air. Using the ideal gas law (P = PanyRT): a) Find the density of dry air at 72.05 "F with a pressure of 1095 mb. b.) Find the density of molst air at the same pressure and temperature if the relative humidity is 60%. HINT: (for o) stick with Si units (for b) Find e, given T(see lecture slides). Find e given RH.
