00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.774
Here is the problem: How many moles of gas are in a 22.4 L container at 1 atm and 273.15 K?

2
00:00:11.224 --> 00:00:20.175
Solve PV equals nRT for n, with pressure in atm, volume in litres, amount in moles and temperature in kelvin.

3
00:00:20.975 --> 00:00:26.513
Choose the gas constant to match the units. Pressure is in atm and volume in litres.

4
00:00:26.963 --> 00:00:30.783
Rearrange PV equals nRT for n and substitute.

5
00:00:31.583 --> 00:00:36.482
So the answer is n equals 0.999377 mol.

6
00:00:36.932 --> 00:00:50.643
An ideal gas obeys PV equals nRT: pressure times volume is proportional to the amount of gas and its absolute temperature. Real gases follow it closely at low pressure and high temperature.

7
00:00:51.443 --> 00:00:57.561
PV equals 22.4 and nRT equals 22.4, which agree.
