Question

In Cellular Respiration Lab, they mention the equation PV=nRT. Can someone explain me what does that equation relate to the lab? By the way, why do water get in the pipette by explaining something related to that equation? Thanks In Cellular Respiration Lab, they mention the equation PV=nRT.

Explanation / Answer

PV=nRT

It is the ideal gas equation. It helps in finding out the pressure which is represented by P, it finds out volume represented by V,n is represented by number of noles of gas, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

It helps in identifying gaseous behaviour within a confined area.

The water get into the pipette and it is related to the ideal gas equation because due to the availability of the free space it tend to build up kinetic energy.
