GAS LAWS: Boltzmann’s Constant

In previous circumstances, a known quantity of an ideal gas in moles ( n ) was shown to influence a volume of space in accordance with the Ideal Gas Law ( PV = nRT ). It is useful, however, to be able to determine the number of molecules ( N ) of a gas thatContinue reading “GAS LAWS: Boltzmann’s Constant”

CHEMISTRY: What Quantity Does a Mole Describe?

CHEMISTRY 101:  WHAT IS A ” MOLE “? HOW DOES THE QUANTITY DESCRIBED AS BEING A ” MOLAR ” QUANTITY CONNECT THE INVISIBLE SUBATOMIC WORLD TO THE VISIBLE WORLD? A balanced chemical equation is representative of a chemical reaction ( RXN ).  For example, water is known to be made of two hydrogen ions +Continue reading “CHEMISTRY: What Quantity Does a Mole Describe?”
