[edit] pV=nRT
I'm not a chemist (still in high-school), but shouldn't this read PV = nRT? :-\ /splintax
- You are right and wrong! I think the original author intended V to equal the molar volume but due to the limitations of the font used here, the "~" couldn't be placed over the V. In practice you try to use equimolar volumes in your calculations. I'll try and place a link to the actual equation.
- Also, I don't want to confuse my high-school friend but, there should be something said about polarizability volumes and van der Waals. I can remember right now what the connection is (there may not be any) but I'll look over my notes from college.

- Yes, there should be something said about that! I'm working on it, slowly... Physchim62 (talk) 15:31, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Radius
How does one find this radius, is there an equation to find it? The equation on this page doesn't seem to have the "radius" as a variable. Fresheneesz 03:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
