Answer:
The unit of the equation P·V = n·R·T is the Joules which is the same as the unit of energy
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit of energy is Joules, with symbol J
The given equation for an ideal gas is P·V = n·R·T
Where;
P = The pressure of the gas with units Pascals, Pa
V = The volume of the gas, with units m³
n = The number of moles with unit moles
R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
T = The temperature, with units, Kelvin, K
Therefore, we get;
P·V has unit 1 Pa × 1 m³ = 1 N/m² × 1 m³ = 1 N·m = 1 Joule
Similarly, we get
n·R·T with units n mole × 8.314 J/(mol·K) × 1 K = 8.314·n Joules
Therefore, P·V = n·R·T, has the unit of Joules which is the same unit with energy.
