Ideal Gas Law

Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.

QUESTION 1 Estimate The Temperature For A Planet In Other Solar System (Questions 1-3) Let us assume scientists just discovered a planet orbiting a star in an extra-solar system. The star has a surface temperature Ts = 10000 Kelvins and a radius Sr = 1x109 meters. Scientists also measured the distance (D) between the star and the planet as D = 2 AU - 3.0x1011 meters. The solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps) can be calculated from the star's surface temperature Ts (10000 Kelvins) by the Stefen-Boltzman law Ps=0(Ts)4, where o is Stefen-Boltzman constant (5.67 x 10-8 Watt/meter2/Kelvin4).
