Question

A gas volume (V) can be computed using the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT. Which function represents the relationship between gas volume and other parameters?

a) V = nRT/P
b) V = P/nRT
c) V = RT/Pn
d) V = Pn/RT

Answer 1

The function V = nRT/P represents the relationship between the volume of an ideal gas and other parameters such as pressure, number of moles, and temperature, based on the ideal gas law PV = nRT.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that represents the relationship between gas volume and other parameters as defined by the ideal gas law, PV = nRT is V = nRT/P. This equation arises when solving for V (volume) by dividing both sides of the ideal gas law by P (pressure). Here, P represents the pressure of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and R is the universal gas constant.
