Brock+Ideal

The ideal gas law is the equation of state or a hypothetical ideal gas.First Discovered by Clapeyron in 1834.
 * PV=nRT
 * p is the absolute pressure of the gas
 * v is the volume of the gas
 * n is the number of moles of gas
 * r is the universal gas constant
 * t is the absolute temp

If P= 1 atm, V=22.414L, n=1 mol, and T=273K, solve for R.
 * Example--**

1) Write down equation: PV = nRT

2) Plug in givens: (1atm)(22.414L) = (1mol)R(273.15K)

3) Use algebra: (1atm)(22.414L)/(1mol)(273.15K) = R

4) Simplify and check units: R = 0.082Latm/mol K
