Question : 8

Total: 66

The general gas law can be written as

Solution:

Concept:

Combining Boyle’s, Charles’ and Gay-Lussac’s laws gives the general gas law for a fixed mass of gas.

Explanation:

Pressure

P

, volume

V

and absolute temperature

T

change together, but the ratio

\frac{PV}{T}

stays the same.

For a constant mass of gas, the law is written as:

\frac{PV}{T} = \text{constant}

This is the same as:

PV \div T = \text{constant}

Answer:

Option A:

PV \div T = \text{a constant}
