Question

if the pressure, volume, and the number of moles of a gas are known, which is needed to calculate the universal gas constant from the ideal gas law?

Answer 1

pv = nRT ; the missing piece is T

Answer 2

Answer: Temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation, which is a combination of Boyle's law, Charle's law , Gay lussac's law and Avogadro's law.

`PV=nRT`

P = Pressure of the gas

V= Volume of the gas

T= Temperature of the gas

R= Gas constant

n= moles of gas

`R=(PV)/(nT)`

Thus if pressure, volume and the number of moles of a gas are known, temperature is needed to calculate the gas constant.
