Temperature (T) • The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance • SI units for temperature are Kelvin (K) and degrees Celsius (°C) • To convert from the Celsius Scale to Kelvin Scale, add 273 • Example: • Room temperature is 20.°C which is 290 K
Ideal Gas Law • Relates volume, pressure, and temperature • Temperature – Kelvin Scale • kB = Boltzmann’s Constant = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K
Ideal Gas Law • When the number of gas particles is constant:
Pure helium gas is contained in a leakproof cylinder containing a moveable piston. The initial volume, pressure, and temperature of the gas are 15 L, 2.0 atm, and 310 K, respectively. If the gas is rapidly compressed to 12 L and the pressure increases to 3.5 atm, find the final temperature of the gas.
