Volume of 1 Mole Gas at 1atm, 273.15K

AI Thread Summary
1 mole of gas at 1 atm pressure and 273.15K occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. The ideal gas law equation PV = nRT is used to calculate this volume, where V = nRT/P. The user initially calculated the volume as 2270.96 but realized the error was due to inconsistent units. The correct values should use SI units, with pressure in Pascals and volume in cubic meters. Understanding and applying consistent units is crucial for accurate calculations in gas laws.

What volume does 1 mole of gas occupy at 1 atm pressure and 273.15K?

PV = nRT so V =nRT/P

V = (1)(8.314)(273.15)/1

Im getting 2270.96, the answer is ment to be 22.4L, what am i doing wrong?

P= 1
V= ?
n= 1
R= 8314
T= 273.15K

You need to use a consistent set of units. Atm and L are not SI units. The SI units for pressure are Pascals (Pa), and for volume m^3. Look these up.
 
have it now, thanks
