Verifying Gas Law constant R witha butane lighter
« on: May 11, 2012, 05:36:16 AM »
I have to find R with only using a butane lighter but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I think I have to use PV=nRT but I don't know how to find the pressure inside the lighter. Any help is appreciated, thank you! :D

Think about a method that doesn't take pressure inside a lighter into account.
