The Ideal Gas Law — Quiz

Question 7 • Chemistry

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
A
the partial pressure of the gas
B
the temperature of the gas
C
the molar volume of the gas
D
the molar mass of the gas

Explanation

The ideal gas law is PV = nRT. Solving for the universal gas constant gives R = PV/(nT), so temperature is needed along with pressure, volume, and moles. Therefore, the correct choice is the temperature of the gas.
