00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.652
Here is the problem: What is the pressure of 1 mol of gas in 25 L at 298 K?

2
00:00:07.103 --> 00:00:15.648
Solve PV equals nRT for P, with pressure in atm, volume in litres, amount in moles and temperature in kelvin.

3
00:00:16.448 --> 00:00:21.963
Choose the gas constant to match the units. Pressure is in atm and volume in litres.

4
00:00:22.413 --> 00:00:26.291
Rearrange PV equals nRT for P and substitute.

5
00:00:27.091 --> 00:00:32.815
So the answer is P equals 0.978124 atm.

6
00:00:33.265 --> 00:00:46.907
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
00:00:47.707 --> 00:00:55.776
PV equals 24.4531 and nRT equals 24.4531, which agree.
