What Does N Mean in pV nRT

The ideal gas law is: pV = nRT, where n is the number of moles, and R is universal gas constant.

What is n in chemistry moles?

n = m/M n is the amount of substance, in moles, mol. m is the mass of the substance, in grams, g. M is the molar mass of the substance (the mass of one mole of the substance) in g mol-1.

How do you calculate n in PV nRT?

The equation can be rearranged to work out each of the different terms. For example, to calculate the number of moles, n: pV = nRT is rearranged to n = RT/pV.
