Q: For an ideal gas, which of the following equations is correct?
Solution: The ideal gas law is expressed as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand that we are looking for the correct equation for an ideal gas.
Step 2: Recall the ideal gas law, which relates pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of gas.
Step 3: Identify the components of the ideal gas law: P (pressure), V (volume), n (number of moles), R (gas constant), and T (temperature).
Step 4: Write down the ideal gas law equation: PV = nRT.
Step 5: Confirm that this equation is the correct representation of the behavior of an ideal gas.
