Alteration of combined gas law

Ideal gas law calculates the number of moles


of a gas in a fixed volume at a known
temperature and pressure
Relates Pressure, Volume, &
Temperature.
SI units for these properties are
Pascal(Pa) for pressure, m
3
for volume
and Kelvin(K) for temperature.

Two of the laws describing the behavior of
a perfect gas are:
Boyles Law = Constant T
Charless Law = Constant P

Characteristic equation of
state of a perfect gas
The constant, R, is called the gas constant. The unit of
R is Nm/kg K or J/kg K. Each perfect gas has a different
gas constant.
The characteristic equation is usually written
PV = RT
or for m kg, occupying V m
3
,
PV = mRT
From the definition of the kilogram-mole, for m kg of a gas
we have,
m = nM
(where n is the number of moles).
Note: Since the standard of mass is the kg, kilogram-mole will be written simply as
mole.



PV = nMRT or

pressure reaches 1.27 MN/m

assumed to be a perfect gas, determine:

a)the mass of gas (kg)
b)the final volume of gas (m
