gas constant in a sentence

1. The units of the gas constant are designed to cancel out the units of the other variables.

2. In this case dry air with a specific gas constant of \(R_s=287 \frac{\text{ J}}{\text{kg K}}\) is assumed.

3. The data points should fall along a straight line, the slope of which is equal to (-Ea/R), where R is the ideal gas constant.

4. Since the molar gas constant is a physical constant, the change in heat capacity must be due to the number of degrees of freedom.

5. The latter is 3/2 times the gas constant, and in the molecules of a single atom it is equal to the specific heat in constant volume.

6. In the second version of the equation the molecular mass of water, the gas constant and the temperature (298K) have been substituted.

7. The precision to which the Loschmidt constant is currently known is limited entirely by the uncertainty in the value of the gas constant.

8. However, it must also be noted that this formula was derived on the assumption that neither temperature and gravitational acceleration change with altitude, nor the specific gas constant (i.e. the composition of the atmosphere).
