• You may come across other values for this with different units.
A commonly used one in the past was 82.053 cm3 atm K-1 mol-1.
• The units tell you that the volume would be in cubic centimetres and
the pressure in atmospheres.

The temperature, T
• We can use the ideal gas equation to calculate the volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at
0°C and 1 atmosphere pressure.
• First, we have to get the units right.
• 0°C is 273 K. T = 273 K
• 1 atmosphere = 101325 Pa. p = 101325 Pa
• We know that n = 1, because we are trying to calculate the volume of 1 mole of gas.
• And, finally, R = 8.31441 J K-1 mol-1.
• Slotting all of this into the ideal gas equation and then rearranging it gives:
Finding the relative formula mass of a gas from its density
He 0.1785 22.4
N2 1.2506 22.4
O2 1.4290 22.4
