Check the correctness of formula pv =rt |
|
Answer» For this form of the equation, R has units J / ºK·mol n has units mol and T is in ºK, so NRT has units J (energy). p is pressure in Pa, or N/m² V is in m³, so pV = N·m = J (energy) QED If, INSTEAD, you use pressure in ATMOSPHERES (atm) and volume in liters (L), then R has units L·atm / ºK·mol and the RHS is in L·atm. The RHS is in atm·L |
