The Ideal Gas Law

Question 1 • LA-Chemistry A

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 temperature of the gas
B
the molar volume of the gas
C
the molar mass of the gas
D
the partial pressure 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 the number of moles. The correct choice is the temperature of the gas.
