IN A LEVELS PHYSICS, IN IDEAL GAS CHAPTER THERE ARE TWO EQUATIONS
1' PV=NRT
2. PV=NKT
WHEN WILL WE USE WHICH EQUATION?
1' PV=NRT

We are currently struggling to cover the operational costs of Xtremepapers, as a result we might have to shut this website down. Please donate if we have helped you and help make a difference in other students' lives!

Got confused about the same thing but then I checked the formulas given on the paper . There was no value for "R" there.IN A LEVELS PHYSICS, IN IDEAL GAS CHAPTER THERE ARE TWO EQUATIONS

Thanx a million!! I'd totally forgotten...In equation 1 , N is the number of moles, R is the Universal/Ideal Gas constant.
In equation 2, N is the number of particles in the gas; k is Boltzmann's constant. (1.38 x 10^-23 joules)
So Basically for the right hand side,
N (no. of moles) x R x T
(no.of particles/ Avogadro Constant) x R x T
Since Av. number and R are constants, we combine them,
no. of particles x (R/Av constant) x T
therefore PV = nKT
K = R/ Avogadro Constant
thanx it really helped!In equation 1 , N is the number of moles, R is the Universal/Ideal Gas constant.

For almost 10 years, the site XtremePapers has been trying very hard to serve its users.
However, we are now struggling to cover its operational costs due to unforeseen circumstances. If we helped you in any way, kindly contribute and be the part of this effort. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
