SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the units for the equation C = p/RT, where pressure (p) is measured in Pascals (Pa). The participants confirm that the concentration (C) can be expressed in mol/m³, which can be converted to mol/L. The unit of force is defined as Newtons (N), and the surface area is measured in square meters (m²). This foundational understanding is crucial for accurately calculating solution concentration in various scientific applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law and its components (pressure, volume, temperature, and moles).
  • Familiarity with SI units, specifically Pascals (Pa), Newtons (N), and square meters (m²).
  • Knowledge of unit conversion techniques, particularly for concentration (mol/m³ to mol/L).
  • Basic principles of thermodynamics related to gas behavior.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Ideal Gas Law and its applications in chemistry.
  • Learn about unit conversions for concentration, specifically from mol/m³ to mol/L.
  • Explore the relationship between pressure, force, and area in fluid dynamics.
  • Study thermodynamic principles that govern gas behavior under varying conditions.
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, chemical engineers, and students studying physical chemistry who need to understand solution concentration calculations and the underlying principles of gas laws.

Homework Statement
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
