What is the equation of state ? Explain. |
|
Answer» The mathematical relation between the state variables (pressure, volume, temperature, amount of the substance) is called the equation of state. In the usual notation, the equation of state for an ideal gas is PV = nRT. For a fixed mass of gas, the number of moles, n, is constant. R is the universal gas constant. Thus, out of pressure (P), volume (V) and thermodynamic temperature (T), only two (any two) are independent. |
