The gas constant R is defined as the Avogadro constant N A multiplied by the Boltzmann constant k (or k B): = = 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol −1 × 1.380 649 × 10 −23 J⋅K −1 = 8.314 462 618 153 24 J⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1. Since the 2019 revision of the SI, both N A and k are defined with exact numerical values when expressed in SI units. [2]
R is an important input in the calculation of the anomalous magnetic dipole moment. [1] Experimental values have been measured for center-of-mass energies from 400 MeV to 150 GeV. [2] R also provides experimental confirmation of the electric charge of quarks, in particular the charm quark and bottom quark, and the existence of three quark ...
kT (also written as k B T) is the product of the Boltzmann constant, k (or k B), and the temperature, T.This product is used in physics as a scale factor for energy values in molecular-scale systems (sometimes it is used as a unit of energy), as the rates and frequencies of many processes and phenomena depend not on their energy alone, but on the ratio of that energy and kT, that is, on E ...
The Boltzmann constant sets up a relationship between wavelength and temperature (dividing hc/k by a wavelength gives a temperature) with one micrometer being related to 14 387.777 K, and also a relationship between voltage and temperature (kT in units of eV corresponds to a voltage) with one volt being related to 11 604.518 K. The ratio of ...
Here α has the dimension of an inverse temperature and can be expressed e.g. in 1/K or K −1. If the temperature coefficient itself does not vary too much with temperature and α Δ T ≪ 1 {\displaystyle \alpha \Delta T\ll 1} , a linear approximation will be useful in estimating the value R of a property at a temperature T , given its value ...
The Rankine scale is used in engineering systems where heat computations are done using degrees Fahrenheit. [3] The symbol for degrees Rankine is °R [2] (or °Ra if necessary to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales). By analogy with the SI unit kelvin, some authors term the unit Rankine, omitting the degree symbol. [4] [5]
For example, the atomic mass constant is exactly known when expressed using the dalton (its value is exactly 1 Da), but the kilogram is not exactly known when using these units, the opposite of when expressing the same quantities using the kilogram.
For example, Paraffin has very large molecules and thus a high heat capacity per mole, but as a substance it does not have remarkable heat capacity in terms of volume, mass, or atom-mol (which is just 1.41 R per mole of atoms, or less than half of most solids, in terms of heat capacity per atom).
