Question 12

Gas Laws

Which of the following relationships between the pressure P, the volume V and the temperature T, represents an ideal gas behaviour?

  1. A.P α VT
  2. B.P α T/V
  3. C.PT α V
  4. D.PV α 1/T
  5. E.P α V/T
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (P α T/V)

Explanation

For an ideal gas PV/T is constant, so P is proportional to T/V.
