The Ideal Gas Law

Question 9 • LA-Chemistry A

Which statement would be the most useful for deriving the ideal gas law?

Answer
A
Volume is directly proportional to the number of moles.
B
Volume is inversely proportional to the temperature.
C
Pressure is directly proportional to the volume.
D
Pressure is inversely proportional to the number of moles.

Explanation

At constant temperature and pressure, Avogadro’s law says volume is directly proportional to the number of moles: increasing the amount of gas increases its volume proportionally. This relationship is part of the set of gas laws combined to obtain PV = nRT. Pressure is not directly proportional to volume, and volume is not inversely proportional to temperature.
