Ideal Gas
« on: February 24, 2015, 05:55:36 AM »
Hi friends,

1. By Avogrado law we can tell 1 mole of any gas will occupy 22.7 litres
2. We know that universal gas constant is 8.314 Kj/mol-K

Which of these was first derived and kindly tell how?

That's not exactly true - it works this way only at STP.

Both things are measured, not derived, and it is actually the same experiment.

Can you tell in detail about the experiment...

Take a gas sample, measure number of moles of gas, pressure, volume and temperature at the same time. Plug them all into the ideal gas equation - the only unknown is R.

That's not to say it is the only way, but the most obvious one in the context of Avogadro's law.

Using GOOGLE and WIKI might give you more insight
