Question 2 • Chemistry

Which statement can best be concluded from the ideal gas law?

Answer
A
All collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly elastic and are not the result of any attractive forces.
B
The product of pressure and volume of an ideal gas is proportional to the absolute temperature.
C
The behavior of a gas under real conditions does not obey the ideal gas law.
D
The temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas are all related.

Explanation

The ideal gas law is PV = nRT. For a fixed amount of gas, n and R are constant, so the product of pressure and volume, PV, is proportional to the absolute temperature T. This is exactly the statement that the product of pressure and volume is proportional to absolute temperature.
