Chemistry Units conversion for solution concentration

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the units for the equation C = p/RT, where pressure (p) is measured in Pascals (Pa). It clarifies that the unit for concentration (C) can be expressed as Pa J^-1 mol. The conversation emphasizes the need to understand the units of force, which is Newtons (N), and surface area, measured in square meters (m^2), to derive the concentration in mol/L. The participants agree on the importance of correctly converting these units to achieve accurate results. Overall, the thread highlights the relationship between pressure, force, and concentration in solution chemistry.

concentration units conversion with Pascal
Relevant Equations
C= p/RT
What are the units for C= p/RT
where p is in Pa

Would it be Pa J^-1 mol ?
and if so, how could I get the concentration in mol/L
