The unit for temperature that must be used in the ideal gas law equation is????

Answer 1

*Kelvin.
*The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature according to the equation:
P*V=n*R*T
where,
P= is the absolute pressure [Pa],
V=is the volume [m3] of the vessel containing moles of gas,
n= is the amount of substance of gas [mol],
R= is the gas constant [8.314472 m^3·Pa·K^(−1)·mol^(−1)],
T= is the temperature in kelvin [K].

Answer 2

It doesn't really matter if you use Celsius or kelvin because its a relationship so has no reference to absolute temperature, freezing point or any other temperature.

The units do all need to be SI units so that the relationship to pressure or volume works for those units.

Answer 3

An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other. In such a gas, all the internal energy is in the form of kinetic energy and any change in internal energy is accompanied by a change in temperature.

An ideal gas can be characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them may be deduced from kinetic theory and is called the


n = number of moles
R = universal gas constant = 8.3145 J/mol K
N = number of molecules
k = Boltzmann constant = 1.38066 x 10-23 J/K = 8.617385 x 10-5 eV/K
k = R/NA
NA = Avogadro's number = 6.0221 x 1023 /mol

The ideal gas law can be viewed as arising from the kinetic pressure of gas molecules colliding with the walls of a container in accordance with Newton's laws. But there is also a statistical element in the determination of the average kinetic energy of those molecules. The temperature is taken to be proportional to this average kinetic energy; this invokes the idea of kinetic temperature. One mole of an ideal gas at STP occupies 22.4 liters.

I hope this is useful.

Kind regards, Wendy

Answer 4

We always use the absolute temperature scale in all scientific study.So the unit of temperature in ideal gas law eqn is also Kelvin(K)

Answer 5

The temperature used is always Kelvin, which is absolute temperature. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius to get the temp in Kelvin

Answer 6

Kelvin

Answer 7

Kelvin

Answer 8

Kelvin degree

Answer 9

I would think Celsius. Most all science equations use Celsius.
