Question 41

Gas Laws

The equation Px Vy Tz = constant

  1. A.x = 0, y = 0, z = 1
  2. B.x = 1, y = 0, z = 0
  3. C.x = 1, y = 1, z = 0
  4. D.x = 1, y = 1, z = 1
  5. E.x = 1, y = 1, z = −1.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: E (x = 1, y = 1, z = −1.)

Explanation

The general gas law is PV/T = constant, which is P1V1T−1 = constant.
