Gas Volume Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Gas Volume.
GV = n*R*T/P
- Where GV is the Gas Volume (m^3)
- n is the number of moles of gas
- T is the temperature (C)
- R is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/mole-C)
- P is the pressure (Pa)
How to Calculate Gas Volume?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Gas Volume.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the number of moles of gas.
- The number of moles of gas is given as 140.
- Next, determine the temperature (C).
- The temperature (C) is calculated as: 50.
- Next, determine the pressure (Pa).
- The pressure (Pa) is found to be: 30.
- Finally, calculate the Gas Volume using the formula above:
GV = n*R*T/P
Inserting the values from above yields:
GV = 140*8.314*50/30 = 1939.93 (m^3)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
number of moles of gas = 185
temperature (C) = 874
pressure (Pa) = 93
Entering these values and solving gives:
GV = 185*8.314*874/93 = 14,454.73 (m^3)
