In this example, we will be trying to determine the pressure of some evaporated water in a container that has a volume of 0 .03 meters cubed.
00:12
The water vapor has a temperature of 388 degrees kelvin and has a mass of 4 grams.
00:19
So to do this, we're just going to use the ideal gas law, which is pv equals nrt.
00:28
However, this form of the ideal gas law is in terms of moles of gas n right here.
00:36
So since we have mass m, we're going to convert this equation into terms of mass m in grams.
00:45
So to do that, we need to remember that we can convert between moles and mass.
00:50
I remembering that the mass is equal to the number of moles times the molar mass, big m.
01:00
If we solve this equation for little n, the number of moles is equal to the total mass over the molar mass.
01:11
So we can just plug this in to our ideal gas law here.
01:15
And then it's in terms of the mass and grams.
01:18
All right.
01:18
So if we plug that in, we'll have pv equals little m over big m times r t...
