Gids plz help what is the unit of Universal Gas constant is it atm×Litre/mol ×Kelvin or Joule /mol× Kelvin and are these given quantities of universal gas constant same
Answers
The actual formula for gas constant is
>>The first formula/unit you have mentioned is atm×Litre/mole × Kelvin
This formula is absolutely correct.
Here atm is pressure,
litre is volume
mole remains mole and
temperature is kelvin, considering the formula I mentioned above.
>>The second formula/unit you have mentioned is correct too. That is Joule/mole×kelvin.
Now,
we know, Joule is the unit of work. Work can be written as Force×Displacement.
Force = Pressure × Area
and displacement = m
So, Force× displacement that is work = pressure × m² × m
=> pressure × m³
=> pressure × volume.
Then,
Joule can also be written as pressure × volume.
Now the formula became the same.
Joule/mol×kelvin
=> pressure×volume/mole × temperature
Cheers!
