Answer:
- the pressure is specified in atmospheres (atm)
- the volume is specificied in liters (L)
- the temperature is specificied in Kelvin (K)
- the number of moles is specified in mol (mol)
Explanation:
The ideal gas law states that:
[tex]pV=nRT[/tex]
where
p is the gas pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature
It can be rewritten solving for R
[tex]R=\frac{pV}{nT}[/tex]
In this problem, the gas constant is written as
[tex]R=0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}[/tex]
this means that:
- the pressure is specified in atmospheres (atm)
- the volume is specificied in liters (L)
- the temperature is specificied in Kelvin (K)
- the number of moles is specified in mol (mol)
