00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.629
Here is the problem: What volume does 1 mol of an ideal gas occupy at 1 atm and 0 °C?

2
00:00:07.079 --> 00:00:15.636
Solve PV equals nRT for V, with pressure in atm, volume in litres, amount in moles and temperature in kelvin.

3
00:00:16.436 --> 00:00:20.836
Convert the temperature to kelvin. The gas law needs absolute temperature.

4
00:00:21.286 --> 00:00:26.731
Choose the gas constant to match the units. Pressure is in atm and volume in litres.

5
00:00:27.181 --> 00:00:31.105
Rearrange PV equals nRT for V and substitute.

6
00:00:31.905 --> 00:00:35.957
So the answer is V equals 22.414 L.

7
00:00:36.407 --> 00:00:50.107
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.

8
00:00:50.907 --> 00:00:58.279
PV equals 22.414 and nRT equals 22.414, which agree.
