Q20 of 23 Page 152

What would be the SI unit for the quantity pV2T2/n?

We know that

The SI unit for pressure, p is Nm-2.


The SI unit for volume, V is m3.


The SI unit for temperature, T is K.


The SI unit for the number of moles, n is mol.


Therefore, the SI unit for quantity pV2T2/n is: -



= Nm4K2mol-1.
