Which of the following equations represents the Ideal Gas Law?
A
PV = nRT
B
V/T = constant
C
P1V1 = P2V2
D
PV = k
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the Ideal Gas Law from the list of equations provided. The Ideal Gas Law is a fundamental equation in chemistry that relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas.
The Ideal Gas Law is expressed as \( PV = nRT \), where \( P \) is the pressure, \( V \) is the volume, \( n \) is the number of moles of gas, \( R \) is the ideal gas constant, and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.
Compare the given equations to the Ideal Gas Law. The equation \( PV = nRT \) matches the form of the Ideal Gas Law.
Understand the other equations: \( V/T = \text{constant} \) represents Charles's Law, \( P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \) represents Boyle's Law, and \( PV = k \) is a form of Boyle's Law for a constant amount of gas at constant temperature.
Conclude that the equation \( PV = nRT \) is the correct representation of the Ideal Gas Law from the options provided.
