Question

What SI units are used to measure volume?

Answer 1

I think `m^3`

Explanation:

In the gas law stuff, there is a gas constant, R, in which R=8.134 J/molK

A Joule has units of `(kgxxm^2)/(s^2)`

R = `"PV"/"nT"`, and the moles and temp cancel from the gas constant, so that means
`(kgxxm^2)/(s^2)` = PV

Pressure is in Newtons, `"F"/m^2`, or `"kg*m"/(m^2s^2)"`

`(kgxxm^2)/(s^2)` = `"kg*m"/(m^2s^2)`V

If you solve for V, you get `m^3`
That was the round-about way of doing it, but I know energy is Joules and Pressure is Newtons...so obviously should use the ideal gas law :)
