Question

Which of the following options best describes the Ideal Gas Law?

• A. The pressure (P), volume (V) and temperature (T) of a fixed quantity of gas are related by the equation PV/T = Constant.
• B. The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its volume at constant volume.
• C. The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.
• D. The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The pressure (P), volume (V) and temperature (T) of a fixed quantity of gas are related by the equation PV/T = Constant.

The Ideal Gas Law describes the relationship between the pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T) of a fixed quantity of gas, which is given by the equation PV/T = Constant ideal gas law, relation between the pressure P, volume V, and temperature T of a gas in the limit of low pressures and high temperatures, such that the molecules of the gas move almost independently of each other
