What is the value of the Ideal gas constant?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

It all depends on your units . \[\Large R=k \times N_{A}=8.314 \sf \frac{ J }{ mol \times K }\] \(\large R\) is the gas constant \(\large k\) is the Boltzmann constant \(\large 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \sf \frac{J}{K}\) \(\large N_{A}\) is the Avogadro constant \(\large 6.02 \times 10^{23} \sf \frac{1}{mol}\)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I see.. now, thank you :)

OpenStudy (frostbite):

No problem.

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

one more questin though

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Sure, shoot.

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

if we say hydrogen gas, its formula is H2 right?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

That is correct.

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

so Oxygen gas is , O2 ?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Also correct. Both hydrogen and oxygen would be highly reactive when just on the form H and O.

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

so generally speaking, all elements names with the term "gas" is paired?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Sorry that was bad formulated. When you say "paired" what do you then mean? I mean we could have carbondioxide which is also a gas. Beside you should remember that most of the element can take all of the states of matter. An example would be helium (He). At room temperature it is a gas but we do have to power to turn it into liquid.

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

say...

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

|dw:1383038455885:dw|

OpenStudy (frostbite):

correct

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

@Frostbite thanks again :) you have cleared my anxiety for the upcoming terrorizing exam ;)

OpenStudy (frostbite):

No problem at all, and good luck! :)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

@Frostbite cheers! :)
