Chapter 10, Problem 64RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of the gas constant, R, in the units of ${\text{m}}^3{\text{ Pa mol}}^{-1}{\text{ K}}^{-\text{1}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The effect of temperature and pressure on the volume of a gas is given by an equation called the ideal gas equation. It is expressed as follows:

$PV=n\text{R}T$

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $n$ is the number of moles, $\text{R}$ is the gas constant and $T$ is the temperature.

The conversion factor for converting liters into cubic meters is given as:

$\frac{1{\text{m}}^3}{1000\text{L }}$
