Question

The ideal gas equation says that the product of the pressure p and the volume of gas v is equal to the number of moles of the gas n times the gas constant r times the temperature of the gas T. Which of the following equations is equivalent to the ideal gas equation?

a) pv = nRT
b) pv = n/rT
c) pv = nrT
d) pv = nR/T

Answer 1

The equation that is equivalent to the ideal gas equation PV = nRT is pv = nRT.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ideal gas equation is represented by the equation PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the amount of gas in moles, T is the temperature (in K), and R is the ideal gas constant. Dividing both sides of the equation with V leads to the equation pv = nRT.

Therefore, the equivalent equation to the ideal gas equation is a) pv = nRT.
