Multiple Choice
Which of the following equations represents the Ideal Gas Law?
A
PV = nRT
B
P = kT
C
V = nRT/P
D
PV = k
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the components of the Ideal Gas Law: Pressure (P), Volume (V), number of moles (n), the ideal gas constant (R), and Temperature (T).
Understand that the Ideal Gas Law is a relationship between these variables, expressed as \( PV = nRT \).
Recognize that \( P = kT \) does not include all the necessary variables (n, R, V) and is not the Ideal Gas Law.
Analyze \( V = \frac{nRT}{P} \), which is a rearrangement of the Ideal Gas Law, but not the standard form.
Evaluate \( PV = k \), which suggests a constant relationship between pressure and volume, but lacks the inclusion of n, R, and T, making it incorrect for the Ideal Gas Law.
