Question

What is volume in $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$?

Answer 1

• The ideal gas equation is the most useful expression of the gas laws because it ties the amount of gas (moles) to its pressure, volume and temperature.
• The equation $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$ represents the ideal gas equation.
• Where $\mathrm{P}$ is the pressure of the gas
• $\mathrm{V}$ is the volume of the gas
• $\mathrm{n}$ is the number of moles of gas
• $\mathrm{R}$ is the gas constant
• $\mathrm{T}$ is the temperature.

Hence, $\mathrm{V}$is the volume of the gas in $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$.
