Enter the volume of the gas and the number of moles of the gas into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Proportionality Constant. 

Proportionality Constant Formula

k = V/n

Variables:

  • k is the Proportionality Constant ()
  • V is the volume of the gas
  • n is the number of moles of the gas

To calculate the Proportionality Constant, divide the volume of gas by the number of moles of the gas.

How to Calculate Proportionality Constant?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Proportionality Constant.


  1. First, determine the volume of the gas. 
  2. Next, determine the number of moles of the gas. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = k = V/n.
  4. Finally, calculate the Proportionality Constant.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

the volume of the gas = 111

number of moles of the gas = 3.3
