Penn State — Physics II Week 1: Ideal Gases & the Mole (Extended)
<p>The long-form Week 1 session on the mole and PV = nRT, with the numbers actually run. Blake and Riley count the carbon atoms in a 44.5-carat diamond, take a piston cylinder from the surface down to 100 metres, sort out gauge versus absolute pressure, and show why helium outruns nitrogen by a factor of root seven at the same temperature. Along the way: two unit systems for R, the Celsius mistake that once went out in an email, and a scratchpad checklist for PHYS 251 problems.</p><p></p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><p>1.
